I see Tandy is sold out on that book; however they have "How to carve Leather" which also shows the process Al used. I like that sheath BTW, very well done imo. Thank you, got both of them in boxes somewhere from the move. 3 hours ago, Dwight said: Go to google . . . search for "youtube: leather carving shadows I haven't done it . . . but anything I need info on . . . that's how I get it.

CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 5 CFM Report Posted November 5 Man, that must suck having the knowledge right there and not being able to get to it. With your natural talent, your work could get much more refined easily.. Keep up the good work!!
