You can also get your finsih washers there, black, stainless or brass. Brass looks good, but the phillips screw heads strip out real easy. They are your one stop hardware shop ;)

Thank you for your help BRL - to confirm, is this the t-stud you buy from McMaster-Carr? Item #90975A007? Do you have to trim the barbs any to prevent them from poking through the leather?

Hey P,

Did you spary the leather sealer on before you started to work the leather or when it was all done?

You have to apply sealers after all of the forming is done, otherwise it won't properly absorb water for the forming process.

I airbrush the dyes on the individual pieces, assemble, wet, form, dry, oil, burnish, then finish - in that order.

Thanks so much. I can never keep natural leather clean when I work with it. Yours looks so clean I was just thinking maybe you seal it forst.
