If this is the first time you carve on something this big I got hand it to you, it looks great.

First time carving on something big can be a very humbling experience. Not easy to "spin the leather around the knife" I'd say.

Elegant looking case, I really like the rich and warm tone the leather has.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, its really nice to hear. Art it really is my first project to use some carving. I did practice for a few weeks before giving it a try. I was worried at first to start off on something so big, I didn't want to waste leather. But I figured what the heck it was going to be for me, so if I goofed up oh well. I'm really glad I did though because I learned stuff that I wouldn't have learned otherwise. I see many things that I'll do different next time but it was a great learning experience. My hat goes off to anyone that can do this sort of work and make a living, because as slow as I am I would surely go broke. Thanks again Rusty ps... Tom it was very humbling
