com202 Report post Posted December 3, 2011 Hello All, First off, this is a great forum I have really enjoyed browsing through since i joined. As the title states I'm from Oklahoma, Southwestern. I'm a Patrol Lieutenant at my local P.D. I started Leather work several weeks ago. I was training in Miami(Oklahoma) with a couple friends from a neighboring department and one of them was going to buy a bow wrist sling from Wal-Mart, I convinced him to keep his money because I could make a better one for him and free. I figured out how to make the paracord sling and I only needed to make the leather bracket. Once I started working with Leather I realized how fun it is and its a good stress reliever for me. I carved a design into some leather for a friends birthday, it's her favorite bands logo. I'm wanting it to be something she can hang on a wall, I'm just unsure of what to attach the leather to to make this happen. I'll post several photographs of the mentioned projects, remember these are my first. I really need to work on using my swivel knife as well as all aspects of Leather carving Thanks, Jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWL Report post Posted December 3, 2011 com202, welcome aboard:grouphug5vj5: I have been a member here for awile. I don't post much;mostly lurk. It looks like you have leatherworking down for your first project and I know she will like it. As for hanging your gift, paracord would look good. I'm looking forward to seeing more work. I don't put anything out there because it's good enough. Good luck with your new found stress releiver:deadsubject: Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
