First Couple of Real Leather Projects

[Flashmojo]

My First leather projects that didn't included a baseball glove! Been re-lacing and breaking in gloves for years, decided to try my hand at tooling and absolutely love it!

The Journal was the first tooling project and holster was the first sewing project! I also made a baseball glove "pounding pad" with molded foam blocks inside, just couldn't stay away from the gloves.  

Bonus Cattle Brand popping through the dye on latest learning project.

Yeah, that brand is a bonus! Never seen that before. Was it latent? Only showed up when you stained it?

Nice job on all the projects.

Oh my, I have to say I was so relieved to keep reading and see that the pounding pad was not the tooled portfolio. Lol

It all looks great and it looks like you're having fun. That's the important part.

Keep it up.

Yeah, that brand is super cool! Keep it up man, it's such a fun and useful hobby that can easily pay for itself or transition into more. I really enjoy it. Haven't had a bad day in my leather shop!

Well as a guy who journals... I would say it all depends on what kind of day you've had. Some days the pounding pad maybe the better choice!
Bossier City... I'm already craving some Monjunis!

Thank You BattleMunky... I love how my tooling improves with every little project. Especially since, I am just now passed the "well that's embarrassing" projects! My favorite part though, is that my 9y/o is getting interested. He did the stamps on the back of the holster.
