Have you skived the leather to reduce bulk where the snaps are located?

Thank you. I will skive first and if all else fails, I may do the Chicago screws. Thanks friends.

You could also hit the wet edges with a piece of canvas or old denim to get a better edge before trying to slick it.

Hmmm. Never thought of that. Know where I can find some canvas?

Hey guys. I found Some post screws. Do those work the same? Also, I found some canvas as well. Thanks!

 

Next question I have in this piece I’m carving and dyeing. I’ve done this multiple times, but do I carve and then dye a piece? Or should I dye and then carve and tool?

Carve first, dye second.
