Members ehmrimprov Posted January 6, 2010 Members Report Posted January 6, 2010 This is the VERY 1st leatherwork I have done in over 25 yrs and I know it is NOT great, it got the dust off my skills again. It is NOT a good pic though, it IS actually much better looking in person, sorry. Ed Thanks Gary (Leatherman) for ALL your support and help with me. Quote
leatherman1457 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Ed ,very nice work you did there.I love your work. just don't wait 25 years to do the next project. lol, Gary Quote
Members Storm Posted January 7, 2010 Members Report Posted January 7, 2010 Pretty darn nice Ed! Keep it going now. I like the combination of the old school style florals and the figure carving but the icing on the cake is the frame and the featers and such. Seems a shame to have not done anything for awhile. Please keep them coming! Storm Quote

Now all I need to seriously find again are the "scenery belt templates" as scenery is my MOST favorite tooling as floral is NOT my forte' so if you or anyone finds any scenery templates for belts, let me know as I have a LOT for wallets but only one "hunting belt scenery template" so thanks again for supporting me Gary.

Members jeeperaz Posted January 7, 2010 Members Report Posted January 7, 2010 Tooling/carving is not where my interests are... but I like it. I like anything with a chiefs head. What type of artifacts are you into? I used to collect prehistoric southwestern pottery but got out of it about 10 years ago Quote

What type of artifacts are you into? I used to collect prehistoric southwestern pottery but got out of it about 10 years ago Hi, thanks for compliment. I LOVE LOVE LOVE collecting unbroken, if I can, arrowheads, spear points, knives, axes etc......all that type of prehistoric native american artifacts. The ONLY thing I don't have YET are,,,,bone or stone fishhooks, or " arrow shaft abrader/straightener" this is a flat rock with definite grooves worn into it where they would work their arrow shafts in grooves to straighten them. I had a HUGE collection before I went to Air Force back home in PA, where I am originally from,,,but sold them all prior to bootcamp,,but like with my leatherworking, I am trying to rebuild my collection as well. With being disabled like I am it is hard to actually go "hunt" for artifacts so I end-up having to buy most of them,,arghh,,,thanks again and peace. What kind of leatherwork are YOU into? Quote
Members TimDreamer Posted January 7, 2010 Members Report Posted January 7, 2010 Very nice, Ed. Hope I am half as good when I finally get to the point of getting to pound leather again. Quote
