Hello from Westchester NY

Hello all!

I’m new to the site… really thrilled to be here… can’t believe the amount of info and awesome tips I have found!

So I’m pretty new to leather working… around seven months now… definitely in hook, line and sinker!

The pictured Beer Koozy is my 6th project… a sheath, a couple of coffee cup sleeves, and another Beer Cozy under my belt… loving every minute!

it’s my first attempt at a Celtic Knot here, happy with the results.. amazed at how much I learn with each project!

It’s lined with 1/16th in neoprene rubber to keep the condensation from getting to the leather, box stitched bottom as well… opinions and critique VERY welcome…

Thanks for having me on the site!

Cool project. I've been trying with the idea of Celtic knots. You did a pretty good job. Is that Sierra Nevada? Possibly torpedo?

Thanks… Spot on! One of my favorites…. Their Pale Ale is pretty tasty too

Lookin' good, there. Celtic knots can be a bugger if you aren't paying attention. Sierra Nevada never had it better. It's good idea to line it with neoprene. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Celtic knots are one of my many faves. They can be challenging,  but effective . Well done
