New Pad Folio

[Billy P]

Hey Bobby, again your work never ceases to amaze and inspire me, as well as others. The whole piece is beautiful, and the edges are just perfect. I recently made a piece that was laced useing two colors of lace, I was slicking the edge and my wife asked me why all the extra work that would not be seen. Itold her that I would know that it is there and from seeing work such as you do, it was the right way to finish the buckle. My edges are not like yours, but I'm working on them. I got to get some new glasses before I can carve much now, hope to get the app. in the next week or so. With my diabetes I can't just go anywhere and get the eyes done, so have to wait sometimes, LOL, they don't get in a hurry around here. Anyway really great work and I so enjoy seeing your beautiful pieces, thanks for sharing with us, I only wish I could see more of it. Billy P

Well Bob, as always your work is impecable, and serves as goal for all of us. I love to study your work, because every time I do I find some additional little feature that I want to incorporate into my own work, and even though it takes me a lot of practice to get it in, my work is better, for incorperating it. Please continue to post your work.

Thanks for giving us all the insperation.

Bob, Your work is unbelievable! Every time I see a new piece by you, It amazes me. As a newbie to leather working i can only say, I wish I would have discovered this craft earlier. There's so much to learn, and I'm having a blast!

WoW! Another Awesome and Inspiring piece!

And as usual your edges just Gleam!

Say, have you ever thought about writing a book or making a How To DVD collection?

I would buy anything you published about leather work.

WOW !!!

LOVE YOUR WORK, BOB.

Can you tell me how you did the flower center on the middle flower, It's the same on 2 other flowers of the case?

It just looks so cool, like a pin wheel.

GREAT WORK. KEEP POSTING. It's very inspiring.

Thanks! That flower center is one of Barry Kings and then I try to enhance it a little. I like the flower center, however it was a poor choice for that particular flower.

Very beautiful carving. I'm always studying carvings. I like Chuck Stormes, Jeremiah Watt, Rick Bean, Taka Fine Leather, Kawazairyo, Tessoh Leather and Links, Jim Jackson, Robert Beard, Al Shelton, Al Stohlman, Chuck Smith, Oh Yeah I forgot Lefty's Leathercraft Blog. A very interesting Blog is by Jeremiah Watt. He makes his own saddle trees, saddle hardware, silver engravings, and his own leather stamps. On day I might visit you when I'm down in Phoenix. I used to hang out at Ellis Barnes down at Elfrida.
