Here's something I was working on today. My first project that involved doing any sort of inlay work. Turned out ok but I think I need to invest in a good awl rather than the punch I used that left gaping holes. It's not quite finished yet, but I just put some neatsfoot oil on it and have to let that penetrate overnight before I can finish it off.

That is awesome! I really like beaver tail, but have never used it. Great job!

That looks good, did you tan that tail yourself?

Thanks gentlemen. The beaver tail was not tanned. I just fleshed it really well and let it air dry. I had to give it a soak in warm soapy water to soften it up and remove some of the grease before gluing it up. Worked rather well!
