I think your carving came out really well.

But you have got to get more practice with using an awl.

I suggest using a template to start with, even if the holes are boared wonky, it won't show up as much as trying to go through more than one layer at a time.

You are 100 percent correct about the awl,and 99% of the time I use a stitching spacer and a groover to set the thread below the surface, Truth be told, I was in a hurry and was being more than a little lazy and really didn't think it showed that bad but it does.

I like it. Very cool carving and color.

Yes the color, what color is this? It's the first thing I noticed, and it looks quite nice.

X-1 and black Eco-Flo antique, leather sheen as a finish.

amazing carving. If you could exaggerate the wave of the stitching to make it look like it is supposed to not be straight I think it would look much better. Another option is to cover the side with a strip of another material and restitch.

Such a terrible thing to do to a dead cow....

not to that long ago I decided that the worst thing you could say to a leatherworker is "A cow had to die for that" thanks Rayban
