I've been kinda busy.

This turned out ok for a practice piece.

I think I need to wear gloves more often....

Way nice looking planks there and there's your stamp. It looks excellent!

Recognize those hands, well the look on them anyways.

It looks like the edge beveler is not all that friendly with you yet, mine hates me.

I only use mine with wet edges otherwise it is totally out of control and very little pressure.

Had to do with dry edges yesterday and hmmm, turned out...not perfect but kinda decent.

nice spider...i really like the way you have placed your stamp. the dye on the hands...wear it proudly...the bevelling spider...sleep deprived as always.. i must admit i too have had edges look like this...thats why i love my dremel..it fixes these little problems or very fine sandpaper can help...dont you hate the way photos show up everything!!

[Pauly]

Your planks are cool, squeaky floorboards. I don't mind a little roughness round the edges just makes it look handmade.

[Spider]

Thanks all. LOL, my edges are so jacked.....LOL It's ok for now because now I will try the Rotary Tool like Roo said. THANKS ROO!!! I love every flaw because it does look hand made very rough as I like it and it is another thing I learn from. I take failure or mistakes with my leather these days as a learning too. For now at least...

Spider i like the wood work, there is so mutch i have to try out in this forum ive never done the planks but yours look cool, oh yea nice touch with the spider it blends in really well i had to look twice to see it, Don

[Spider]

FYI This is my new stamp I got from Daryl at Dbarleather. I TOTALLY LOVE IT!!! Thank you Daryl. This is one of my most prized tools and you are right Don it hides so well.

...thats why i love my dremel..it fixes these little problems or very fine sandpaper can help...

please explain how you use your dremel. What tips you use and such. I have heard many people talk about using one yet no one has explained this to me.

[Spider]

Im gonna assume it's to finely sand the edges with the rotary tool and smooth them out.

[corter]

that looks super good man, i need to learn how to carve. wow...very impressed

[Spider]

Corter, Just put your knife into the leather and go. That's what I do. I usually just draw on the leather and skip a pattern. Of course that is for stuff like this and not for more serious items like seats and stuff. Even a stick figure will look good in leather.

Spider - SWEET!

I kinda like the rough edges with the old floorboard look. Somewhere between a coffin and a pirate ship...
