Here is a "Phoenix Clutch Purse" kit that I just finished last night. I am going to donate this to our local Pheasants Forever banquet for the auction.

Very nice looking purse Gampa, and a very noble gesture as well.

Been going to this local Banquet for 7 years now and have walked out the door with 3 guns. Kinda feel like I can help them out a little bit. Am thinking maybe doing this I can pick up an order or 2 and get a little pocket jingle.

I also do woodworking and I usually donate something to the Volunteer Firemans gathering in Pitkin, CO for their fundraiser. Last year they were able to upgrade from a 1956 truck to a 90's model.

Cool piece of work John. How did you finish that? I like the soft, matt look!

I will have to look tonight when I get home. Was some old (from late 70's) Tandy stain (I think it was Antique Tan) and then finished with the Tandy Sheen.

I thought maybe antique. Did you use a resist first?

[GampasShop]

Ok, I looked last night and I was guessing right. It was Tandy Antique Stain in Tan color. No resist was used.

Now a question, I have this sitting on my desk here at the lumberyard where I work and all the contractors are asking if I used wood stain on it. Is this possible? I had never even considered it before but, you are doing the same thing on a similar product. What do you long timers say, is it possible to use wood stain on leather???
