Dragonfly42 Report post Posted August 25, 2017 Hello all! I would like to start by saying thank you for all of the wisdom I've found on this site. I recently decided to pick up leatherwork (two weeks ago) and wanted to post a picture of my first attempt at carving and tooling. You have no idea how much this site has helped!

What part of Ohio? Hahaha that's half the problem! I'm kinda winging it so I have no clue what to ask!! Any critiques or input would definitely be appreciated.

RemingtonSteel Report post Posted August 25, 2017 Dragonfly, Can't critique, as I don't have enough experience myself yet. But what I do know is that carving leather and carving leather well are two different things. For your first attempt, looks like you are on the road to carving leather well! Great first attempt... Can't wait to see the finished project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RhodesAveDesigns Report post Posted August 25, 2017 Hi, from another Midwestern noobie! I know nothing about carving, except what I like, but it looks like you are doing very well, already. The amount of knowledge and information on this site truly is amazing, and goes far in continuing the art of leathercraft. - Elizabeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
