Don't carve nothing else, just hang it up for a while... I need some time to catch you!!

Beautiful work, don't let anyone tell you different. Just marvelous.

Just came from your 25 rounders post. Lordy, what a difference you've made! I, too, am going to start of with the rounders (the way I was originally taught in High School (1986) and again in the Navy (1992)). I'm going to pick up all those books (and a couple of others) and get to practicing.

I do not think I will get as far as you did in three months, but it will NOT be for a lack of trying.

Thanks for the great words. It's very exciting to be able to produce things like this!

That's just lovely work.

I'm curious: What do you charge for that kind of decoration?

Let your leather dry out some more before tooling. Still a bit wet, there. Finished rig looks purdy good thow.

JL - If your looking at this photo, that is actually after I put on my first Bag Kote:

About price - I have given away just about everything I have carved to date. But if I were to sell something like the holster above I think I would ask $200, which is probably high but I'm not carving to make a living. I'm carving because I have always wanted to do it. I probably have 5 hours in that one.

That Sir, is the most convincing thing I've seen in regards to practice. I'm going to try the twenty five rounders myself..

Once you tool those tiny rounders holsters make you feel like you can really stretch out!

How thick them 'rounders'? 6 oz? 8?
