JEnglish Report post Posted January 15, 2008 ok these are my very first try, trying to learn the art of leathercrafting, and I got the design from a kit, and they are very bad considering its the first i tried, but i thought i'd share it with you (sorry for the bad quality..really bad) Do you have both carving and stamping tools? They work together to bring out the image. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaverslayer Report post Posted January 15, 2008 First off, welcome to the forum. From the pictures it's real hard to tell just whats going on, without being able to see the knife cuts, and such. From what I can see, it looks as if your off to a good start though. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ETW Grumpy Report post Posted January 15, 2008 Welcome to the forum. Looks better than my first attempt, too. Keep practicing. Keep reading and watching good instructional materials and you'll get better. The main thing is to learn the basics and practice them before you try more advanced stuff. That and always have fun.
