Troy Burch Report post Posted January 4, 2014 It takes time, but I use a swivel knife and then work it some with a modeling spoon, much more realistic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyberthrasher Report post Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah, those look like they're cut, beveled, and then possibly centered with a pear shader to give definition and interest in some spots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HamanHide Report post Posted March 14, 2014 sandanieleeI know this is an old post but, in-case you are still looking for ideas, I recently did a holster for a dragon fanatic... I used a Craftool U855 Mulefoot... Dyed it green first then used the block-dye technique to cover the tops black. Customer was happy so... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
