Members Patrik Posted August 19, 2018 Members Report Posted August 19, 2018 Greetings from Slovakia. Thank you for adding me. This is my first post on this site. Shoulder bag and wallet with skull and dogwood flowers I made recently. I started working leather about a year ago and I enjoy it very much. I am making mostly wallets, knife sheaths and other small stuff. Quote
garypl Posted August 19, 2018 Report Posted August 19, 2018 Welcome Patrik- those are really nice looking pieces you made and your carving and stamping shows you have had a lot of practice! What kind of leather did you use? Look forward to seeing more of your work. Gary Quote

Leather I used for the bag is 10 oz veg tan cowhide for front and back and 6oz veg tan for the gusset. It is a bit heavy for the shoulder bag, I know, but I wanted to make something which reminds saddle bag and also it allowed me to make deep relief carving. And wallet is 6 oz for body and 2 oz veg tan for the interior. Patrik 4 hours ago, battlemunky said: Great looking work @Patrik and welcome! Thank you. Quote
