Tooling Bench Weight

[TapTapTap]

Hi Everybody,

After all the Christmas presents got finished,,, I saw the need for a little "present" for myself. It weighs about 3 pounds, & is made out of some 5-6oz leather from Zack White. It's about 4" x 6". My old one isn't quite that heavy. I put on a good coat of oil, both inside & some Satin Professional Top Coat finish from Zelikovitz, in Canada. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the finish. I wouldn't say water "proof",,, but a drop of water sitting on it for about 15 min. just wiped right off, with no water stain. Plus, it seems to help bring out the colors also.

Thanks for looking,,, please let me know what You think,,, Ed the"BearMan"

Very nice result Bearman. I really like the finish colour. I looked at your work then had another look at my 30 year old "scungy" moth eaten weight bags (No 8 Birdshot in pigskin pouches) and decided there and then what my first project after Xmas will be. By the way, the maul you made for me (iilg Seal Logo Competition) is great. Merry Xmas to you and your family from Barrie Bailey.

Bearman, Love your work. Just noticed that you are from Panama. I am two counties over near Apalachicola. Do you do this at a shop or just a hobby? Dawn
