My First Leather Project

[Sparks]

I'm sure you started with an outstanding piece of leather!

Looks great!

Hi,

In moving our warehouse to our new location, I came across my first leather project pictured above. My teacher was Benjamin Maleson. This was made from cowhide, hand stained. It was made in approximately 1969.

Critiques? Comments???

I like it. the matching jetted pockets and button holes are

pretty advanced for a first project. Envy your having a teacher.

I have yet to find a mentor.

I wish my first projects turned out that good. I have some of my old belt I keep around as a reminder of my slight improvement over the years. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely impressive for a first project. I'm sure it took a lot of patience to get that kind of quality the first time around.

Laura: I'm sure you'll find one if you stick with it. If you keep posting to the board with your questions and pictures of your work, and stay motivated, you'll prove your dedication to people here who can probably connect you with a mentor at some point.

Are you speaking of your improvements in tooling or improvements in waste size?
