Members JoelR Posted June 9, 2012 Members Report Posted June 9, 2012 So, now that I have a few Crocodile back straps in-the-raw, any tips on working with them? The end of the tail horns are pressed flat: Can I wet the hide and bring them back up (I have a wicked sheath for a hand sword in mind)? I made sure to pick hides that did not have cracks in the medallion horns so I could use the medallions. Thinking of a few outrageous holsters using the medallions as inlays but inlaying some glass eyes in a pair of horns. Thoughts?

Members Saffo Posted July 31, 2012 Members Report Posted July 31, 2012 I know nothing about working croc, but I actually bought a pair of glass crocodile eyes from Tohickon for a less-wholesome leather project, and they were absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to see the sheath if you make it. Quote
