Leatherimages Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Howdy all, I'm playing with the web site this morning. Familiarizing myself, you know? Haven't downloaded the spell checker yet, so please excuse any... For this exercise, if you will, I've posted pictures of a portfolio I'm finishing, still need to stitch it. I'll include pictures of the completed item when I'm done stitchin' it. The back is stamped with Bob Beards Tri-weave tool, (that ain't easy for me). The front is the customer's business logo, done in the 'rubber cement/leather dust' putty embossed method. (What a mouthful! I usually call it the Barr method, or some such) Along with the putty, I used a leather plug behind the knife in the forground. It helped to straighten out the plane of the blade. I'll posted finished pics later. Back to the bench, Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leatherimages Report post Posted February 6, 2010 Mornin' All, Well it's finished and delivered to a very happy customer. (I told him I'd share any responses, so please let me know what you think.) The cover is 7oz. W/C carving leather which I bring in as "milled". The lining is 3oz. GN Saddle Cow lining. The handle wrap is bull hide which matches a knife sheath I made for hiom some time back. He wanted it with "features" so it's a pretty heavy piece, 4lbs.! Please take a look and let me know what you think. Back to the bench, Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was an interesting project and real challenge. But I took way to long to get it finished. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
