Congrats on your entry to the Trappings. It's by invitation, right? Juried, or something like that? Yeah, I'm still waiting for that call...... I'm not even on their mailing list.

It kinda looks like you added some thumbprint stamps to the finger carving? Nice touch. Very very nice work. Inspirational, as usual.

Thanks for sharing.

Dadgum......as my college age son says...."That's rank". I'd go so far as to say double rank. Amazing work as always.

Bob, every time I see a new project you do, I think, wow he's outdone himself again! Looks like I am going to have to come up with a new comment for this work! They say that copying someones work/art is the most sincere form of flattery, guess that will be my goal on the next project, and I am going to do it just like yours! ;~)

As always, thanks for posting!

Thanks Brent! I did not use any thumbprints on this one, but I have done that in the past. I really like the way it looks but it's a little more time consuming because you have to be more accurate and consistant with the cuts. You're right, though, adding just a few tools such as thumbprints, vieners, seeders and mules feet can really add interest to finger carving!

Thanks for all the great comments everybody!

Ah, Ok. So, what looks like a thumbprint is just the knife width at the start of the cut? It's hard to tell from the picture. They are so uniform. Dang! Now I am impressed. And really demoralized. Thanks.

Thank you everybody. I really do appreciate all your kind words. It motivates me to try to do more on the next one!

I seen your work in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Leather Fiesta. That Rope Case is HUGE. It was amazing to see that purse in person.

Bob if you ever check out YOUTUBE, type in Filagree Belt, you'll see some Asian leather carver. He bevels 3 belts all in some jig he has. He has 80+ videos on his Leathercarving.
