One mostly complete Golf Ball Sleeve...

 

 

I still need to attach a small clasp for hanging it from a golf bag. Thats what the 3/4 bag punch in the back is for. It's also the first piece to carry my makers mark stamp.

 

Golf balls go in the top amd can be squeezed out the slot in the bottom.

Pattern available from DG 

You did a great job

That came out great. Nice job.

Very nice. And a great job with the tooling. I saw this design somewhere else a while ago. I think that the template was for sale.  It's a very clever design.  What thickness leather does you use?

I used a 6/7 oz leather... But the pattern calls for a 4/5 oz leather, to compensate for this I skived the area around the slot in the bottom down to about 4/5 oz .

Finally got a chance to go pick up the last piece of hardware for the Golf Ball Sleeve... The clasp to hang it from a golf bag.

Very good tooling. The contrast between the floral and the circular backgrounding is superb. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

So interesting note here... That circular tooling design is one i copied from my dads custom saddle that he had built over 30 years ago. The saddle maker told him at that time that it was a very old design that isnt very common. I have never seen that pattern on anything besides Dads saddle and now my own work... I have had very good response from customers that dont care for floral work, but still want something more unique than your standard basket stamp.

That is interesting. Your work looks very good. I don’t know much about tooling but I like how that looks.
