Thought it might be easier to combine projects into one post.

 

The leather work area we are setting up a tooling only area, I was having problems with glue and dye marks. Now they will be separate. This is what hopefully is going to work for me from learning. Most important things are the lighting which can be raised and lowered, and the body position for longer tooling. This works for me, but we all have different likes and wants.1087382728_LeatherRoomTable.thumb.jpg.a6a794b088b84e3754cdf7db851fafc3.jpg

 

Wanted to try a rifle sling with oak and acorns.

 

Working on a pair of Birkenstocks for Gini, she loves sunflowers. The inside is lined with milled veg-tan. It makes it nice and soft on the foot. First real time working with it.

Beautiful work! I love the slings. Almost reminds me of a Don Gonzales pattern. 

Love the custom birkenstock sandal work as well. Very nice quality stuff coming off you work bend. 

Just awesome.

Thank you, the rifle sling is a Don Gonzalez pattern.

Thank you Gini is excited for me to finish the other one now.

Thanks WalterF, was the oak leaf & acorn tooling pattern in with the sling template? 

I've been thinking of ordering some of his patterns. 

Very nice work. Just love the sandals. You just got to post a pic when both of them are finished.

Yes the acorn pattern was in the pack, had to convert it from the sling without the thumbhole and fill in where he had a place for initials.

He has very nice patterns and usually includes various tooling patterns to go with it.

Will post when done.

Made a holster yesterday. It is the Hand of G-d from the movie 3:10 to Yuma. The Whil Ghormley pattern is fun, except for sewing the toe piece. Followed the instructions except for color and a few different stamps

Very nice work, as usual. I love way a sun flower looks on leather. I am  going to definitely find a project to put one on. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
