ABHandmade Report post Posted February 15, 2019 Caracal. Leather carving and simplified embossing (without leather insert). Veg tan 4 Oz, spirit dyes. Size 3.5 x 5 inches. I applied too much lacquer and as result small fur details because of this “lost”. It's a shame until tears Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JLSleather Report post Posted February 15, 2019 HEY BOSS .. this is the definition of "good hair day" ! I mean the largest compliment on this great work - to be sure nothing is lost in the translation, I'll use this more graphical fella Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
immiketoo Report post Posted February 15, 2019 Amazing work for just one year of carving! It's amazing what what can be accomplished in a short time if you put in the effort. I guess time in grade doesn't mean jack like some people think it does. You have surpassed the skill of people who have been at this for YEARS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this is with 'reduced details', I am truly amazed. In full definition, I bet I could see flea bites! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, after the lacquer finally dried (after a day), most of the details again "returned". Apparently, this is a feature of polyurethane matte varnish. So I was upset in vain.
