Members YinTx Posted March 13, 2019 Members Report Posted March 13, 2019 As I mentioned in the gallery image: Unbelievable. Nothing less. True art. When you are ready to give classes, I am sure you will have a lot of attendees.

bikermutt07 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 Shoot anybody can stamp a pebbled border behind a live mountain......wait a minute?!?! Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 14, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted March 14, 2019 That's FANTASTIC. I've seen a lot of leather work - and that certainly is at least one of the best I've seen. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members Riem Posted March 15, 2019 Members Report Posted March 15, 2019 Incredible! What perfection - I've been staring at this for the past five minutes, transfixed by those hypnotic eyes. It looks at peace with itself, calmly at rest yet with a potency and magnetism that oozes from it. I'm sure your wife will be pleased and proud to have such a perfect guardian of her belongings.

Members battlemunky Posted March 15, 2019 Members Report Posted March 15, 2019 Another "holy crap!" level piece of work Sir. I can only hope that someone wants to pay you good sums of money to do this work for them someday. This is outstanding! Quote
