Gift For A Friend

[Colt W Knight]

Colt, unlike Tandy leather I'm not going to knock crafttools, their very good for figure carving which is about all i've been doing but they aren't for floral carving. Hopefully now I have all the right tools for any kind of tooling I want to do. I also read a post Hidepounder wrote on caseing leather about a year ago and since I've been doing it that way my tooling greatly improved even with Tandy leather. Happy carving Troy Oh by the way I like that you carve your letters in stead of stamping them.

I don't want to sound snobby, but I am trying to get away from traditional designs as much as possible. I have nothing against traditional. I used to really love it until I got Al Stohlman books and saw that 90% of stuff I see tooled in leather came from one of those books. Even the alphabet stamp set I have is a copy of font from the Stohlman book. Now I am being stubborn and learning the hard way by just trying new stuff.
