Colman Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Storm, This certainly adds to the detailing. Is there color/stain added or is it just from the burner? Nice work. Johnny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaverslayer Report post Posted May 28, 2008 I like these a lot Storm, very nicely done. Just wondering what kind of odor is given off when you do it. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Storm Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Great detailWhat are ya gonna do with them? I am putting together some fly wallets for fly fishing and other assorted pieces for a Fly Fishing shop I know. The mounted piece is going into the shop as original art and the other two were practice pieces. These were the first three I have done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny I carve them then I use the burner and then finish it off with a desert tan stain. I am going to take it farther by carving, then burning and then painting with acrylic washes.

I was using top quality veg tanned cowhide and I hardly notice any offensive smell. Perhaps it is the burner I am using or maybe I hadn't bathed yet that day and the smell was not that different from my overall ambient fragrance. LOL! Just joking. I do not spent good money for my Obession cologne to smell like the burning backside of a branded cow. I will be looking for a new more high end burner if the new project works out. They may put out a lot more heat than my fixed heat unit. It is just like a soldering iron but with interchanging tips. This one cost me US$17.00 and the others are in the $200 $300 range with power control dials. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom The funny thing was that some actually thought that the mounted one was a fish I had caught and wanted to know where I had caught it. Don't envy them Tom...you can do the same thing. Besides if you are making rod cases then you should market some leather fly wallets with wool fleece linings to keep the flys. Would go well with the rod case you made recently.

Spider Report post Posted May 30, 2008 Good work Storm. I have used that technique on saddlebags when I want to give them a worn look. Very effective. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like I got some work building rodcases over summer and a few other projects too. Building a dogridebox for an MC, maybe. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
