Beautiful workmanship!  You have to be an artist to create a figure like that on the front.  Well beyond my capabilities!

Thank you, Gary. Honestly, before I became interested in working with the leather year ago, I had absolutely nothing to do with art. From the word - in general :)
My main specialty is the programmer of embedded systems. This is far enough from drawing and art  (if, of course, do not consider programming as an art).
It seems to me that in any of us sleeps artist . You just need to wake him up :)

You are a fast learner!  Gives me hope that I can still improve - I’d be happy if I could do a carving like this a tenth as well as you!

Al Stohlman's books help me a lot. I am amazed at how much this man was multifaceted and purposeful.

There is so much to love about this wallet @ABHandmade! It looks perfect but the thing that gets me and has had me curious for years is the bark on the tree.....how do you do it? I've been trying to figure out a way to make some sort of stamp, never thought of carving it or anything.

I'm use very steep beveler (on photo my selfmaded stamp) and modeling spoon. And swivel knife, but after beveling - only for last strokes.DSC_0617.JPG
