Members BDAZ Posted May 12, 2014 Members Report Posted May 12, 2014 My local sushi bar is the best in the area, owned by a Japanese guy and nice folks. The treated me like royalty on my birthday and I wanted to repay the gesture so I thought I would trow together a pen and pencil holder to replace the ugly one (a coffee mug) on the bar. I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn to make a cylinder. The back is stitched with a cross double bar stitch. They loved the holder and they gave me a free sake! Comments and criticisms welcome! Cya! Bob Quote

Members WScott Posted May 12, 2014 Members Report Posted May 12, 2014 Good for you It will get you tons of compliments from the restaurant patrons Quote
Members BDAZ Posted May 12, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 12, 2014 They were just about to fill it with sake because they first thought it was a sake cup. The owners English is not too good! I did place our makers stamp on the back..just in case! Cya! Bob Quote
Members WScott Posted May 12, 2014 Members Report Posted May 12, 2014 There you go, next project is leather sake cups! Quote
Members WScott Posted May 12, 2014 Members Report Posted May 12, 2014 How about these http://www.hidebound.co.uk/Products.htm Quote
Members BDAZ Posted May 13, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 13, 2014 Very kewl! I assumed they were lined with lead. Brewers pitch is an interesting concept! I may give it a go and make some leather (cold) sake boxes. Thanks for the great idea! Cya! Bob Quote
Members 3wunder Posted May 13, 2014 Members Report Posted May 13, 2014 As the other posters said, it's a really nice gesture and a cool looking pen holder. I like it! Quote
