chriscraft Report post Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks, I haven't been doing leatherwork as long as some may think. I do have many years of experience in many other art mediums and most of those skills apply to leatherworking. Still need to build up my figure carving tool assortment as I still feel limited by what current tools I have. I'm getting good results and sometimes less is more as it applies in this case.

YinTx Report post Posted June 12, 2015 Chriscraft, Unbelievable work. Your stitching is pretty nice too, and really adds to the piece. And can you tell us where you got your Hermann Oak labels? YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chriscraft Report post Posted June 12, 2015 Thanks. About those HO hang tags, they were not easy to acquire. Turns out they are only given from the tannery when one orders premium A grade leather. I just started ordering direct from HO tannery a few months ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just started ordering direct from HO tannery a few months ago. How does one go about ordering direct from the tannery, do you have to place large orders?
