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.

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.

Thank you. Yes I really enjoy carving and stamping leather. I admire traditional western style carving. 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.

Your carving and stamping looks great!
The same can be said about bag and wallet in general.
