What are those screws called? I'm familiar with Chicago screws, but have never seen them with recessed heads before.

 

Very nice work!

They are a washer and a chamfered screw.  No idea what the technical name is for them, sorry.

Funny you mention that, there is a video on my website, www.learnleather.com, but I'll tell you the secret.  Cut the final shape with a sharp knife as opposed to trying to line up the pieces.  Nothing is smoother than a freshly cut edge.  Then bevel with slightly moist leather.  After that, its just dye, burnish wax and sand.  Repeat as necessary..

@Sheilajeanne The screws are "oval head" type.  "Trim washers" are used with oval head screws.

The screws are pozi-drive [or Phillips drive] counter-sunk head screws or machine screws set into screw cups - depends on what Mike has on the other side, if anything

I use brass screw cups to back yellow or gold rhinestone rivets and shiny nickle-plated ones for silver and coloured rhinestones. Holds em better and makes em look a bit bigger

And where do you get them? The screws and screw cups I mean.

Did you shade the edges a darker color, or is that a trick of the light? If you did, how did you do that? It makes it look very classy.

That is really beautiful work!

any regular hardware store will carry them in stock. The bigger the store, the greater the range of sizes and finish
