Thanks for sharing your pics, X! I like leather and bone (antler) together, don't you?

Those were leather slab handles in the first several pictures? I can think of several applications that would be so cool. If only I knew the process to get that marbling.

I'm not sure now, but I think that in The Leather Crafters&Saddlers Journal you can get any article about leather handle.
