Members Storm Posted September 11, 2009 Members Report Posted September 11, 2009 Worked up a case for my son's colored pencils for his art class last night.Two coats of neatsfoot oil and a couple coats of Satin Shene.In this case I carved the back and front panels, saddle stitched them together then dampened the leather and molded the leather.

dirtclod Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Storm you did a really nice job on the case. I bet you get some orders from other people wanting one to. Quote
Members dustin29 Posted September 11, 2009 Members Report Posted September 11, 2009 Very Nice Storm! Once again you have done some great looking work. Its always a pleasure to see your work. Quote
Members CEversole Posted September 12, 2009 Members Report Posted September 12, 2009 That looks great! About hog long did it take you to complete? -Cord Quote
Members Storm Posted September 12, 2009 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2009 The carving took about 2.5 - 3 hours and the sewing maybe thirty minutes by hand and finishing another 25 minutes and that doesn't include the overall time allowing it to dry during the various stages. Essentially I started it late yesterday and finished wet molding around midnight and let it all dry thoroughly. That looks great! About hog long did it take you to complete? -Cord Quote
