hidepounder Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Here are some photos of my latest project. It's my entry in the Trappings of the Amercian West Show which opened today at the Phippen Museum in Prescott, AZ. The briefcase features an ostrich overlay and a kip interior lining. The lining is fingercarved and has a lined zippered pouch, bus card pockets and pen loops. The divider and accessories pocket are both trimmed with ostrich. The belt is tooled with the same pattern as the briefcase and has ostrich inlays. The belt lining is also finger carved to match the briefcase. The silver belt buckle and the closure on the briefcase were provided by Benny Poulain of Lone Oak, TX. Thanks for the great work, Benny! As always, comments and critiques are welcomed! Thanks for looking! Bobby Edited November 12, 2011 by hidepounder Quote

Like line drawings or calligraphy in leather with no tooling, only blade cuts. Quote I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
