Pretty good first start imo. All you need is more practice and more tools lol. 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Good start, it looks like your leather was a little to dry when you were tooling, there are several good posts on here about casing leather for tooling.  Keep practicing and in a month look back at this one and compare it to what you are doing then.

That's a nice first piece. Stay with it and have fun practicing. Keep your first piece so you can compare later on. My first one has disappeared over the years but I still have the second. It's good to go back and look at it now and then.

Tooling leather looks easy - until you try it! You've made a start, now you just need lots of practice to refine your techniques. Keep at it.
