Log Cabin

[LeatherPlusArtGalore]

So I started this project about a year ago and have recently picked it back up again.  I am working on making, (I'll be fair and say 90%) leather log cabin. I am in the very beginning stages but thought I would share my process with you.  So I will periodically post new pictures as the project progresses.  I have been pretty excited about this and I am having fun trying to figure things out as I go.  So right now I have a floor, 3 walls, the start of the roof, one working window and a door with (yes) metal hinges ( the only non-leather material so far., the door is not actually attached as of yet.  So in the picture with the door in place,.. it is just kind of sitting in there.

Very clever use of leather.  I love the wood textures..

Thank you.  Yeah my goal is to get it to look as realistic as possible.  This will definitely be a long term project.  

Hey thanks so much immiketoo.

Very creative! What did you use to make the white lines between the 'logs'?

It is just tacky glue.  I grooved out the lines and filled them in with glue and after it dried I coated the whole thing it in X-1 Leather dressing.  So it is not as white now that its all said and done but it gave it just enough difference to give it the look I was going for.
