Coffee... it's the secret to my leather work. :coffeecomp:

Made this for myself in a little gap between some larger orders. (Nate is my nickname.) Also, this is my first time making a leather handle so please critique where needed.

Let me know what you think.

I'll try and get some better pics later.

Pair of bison hide working chaps coming soon.

Haha! Thanks, @YinTx!

@TxLeather I go by whatever comes to mind first. I have 4 siblings whose names start with S so my mom often accidentally calls me Snate. I'm also known as Nate the Great. People who don't know me personally call me by my real name, Ryan. You can call me RolandRanch'sRowdyRangerRyan. ;)

Very nice work again whatsyournameagain

I'm kinda a worried about the attachment and form of the handle. Is it riveted on? The handle sits nice now but after a bit of time that top curvy bit will bend upwards, caused by the weight. Without a re-enforcement inside it I think that curved handle will straighten out when the top joint bends upwards

Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Agree about the handle flexing.  I have made a few similar cup holders for Yeti style tumblers.  After a bit of trial and error I have settled on sandwiching a strip of rawhide in the handle.  That seems to work very well.  I first tried Kydex, but after a few months of use the Kydex snapped.

I really like the design pf your handle though.  And as always, your carvong and tooling are beutiful.  Great work.

My only critique is that I need to work harder. A LOT harder.

Another super clean and well made piece of work Nate, or 5R ;)
