Leather projects from this site look good; www.rexkelly.org.

Here is one of the sample boot tops with inlays.

It appears there are also lasts for sale to other bootmakers.

Does anyone else know of other leather talent in New York City?

Steve,

Those are nice little galleries -- from Photoshop? and I see that you work in New York City but also in Connecticut?

Thanks for letting us see all your great biker designs.

Nice boots if you like that style, but his idea of handstitching and mine are a little different.

Not to Hijack, but since his name came up, I am a huge fan of Christians work. I look at his galleries all the time, I just can't get over how clean his tooling is. I dig the way he fills up his seats with skulls and such, almost like the sheridan style, but with skulls. Very cool.

Sheridan style is a mix of both carving technique and skill, and the victorian era carvings from the outdoors; leaves, flowers, horses, things that filled the cowboys outdoor experience.

Wouldn't the skull be a new era Goth type style? with less need for all those subtle stamps that imitate background surface textures?

Nice work, still.

beezachoppa. . . can you post a photo of how your topstitching is different? is it hand-stitched topstitching?
