Two Leather Pouches

One with a beaver tail inlay.

Nice! Those would be handy. Could have used the one on the right myself yesterday.

How is beavertail to work? I've been thinking of getting some vegtan tail, but haven't had the time to plan the project yet.

[Tree Reaper]

Beaver tail is stiff and durable.

When commercially tanned it can be more pliable.

I like to back it up with suede or light leather but it is easy to work with and reasonable to buy.

The tails I have are from beaver I had trapped years ago, sold the hides, saved the tails and tanned them.

I bought a beaver tail wallet that was crafted by natives and that's when I realized the tails could be put to good use.

They are usually left on the carcass and discarded.

A couple of real nice pouches. I really like the pliers one.

... added a cordless phone case for a patio table today.

Kevin your work is exquisite. I just saw these. I love the beaver tail inlay, your work is just perfect on it. And I get such a kick out of your work because it's always practical and one of a kind stuff. The compass pouch, portable phone for a patio table? Who else would think of this, and just whip it up and make it beautiful at the same time? Cheryl

[Tree Reaper]

Thanks Cheryl, I'm still learning.

[DoubleC]

Your learning seems to be a mild learning curve Kevin as opposed to a steep one like we mortals have :-)

[Tree Reaper]

When you've spent all day at the patio table and want to move to the hammock you may just need a wake up call.

[DoubleC]

I do so think it's important that you keep yourself busy OMG I'm cracking up.
