scottishshoemaker Report post Posted February 28, 2009 After recieving basic tools and Al Stohlmans book on how to carve leather about a month ago, I decided it was about time I tried my hand at tooing. heres my first go and took 2hours to do. any tips would be great. This was done on 3oz leather and I'm going to make a fishing reel case for my mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
