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

Regarding classes, there is some problem - I'm afraid my spoken English will only allow me to say hello. (or rather ) 6 hours ago, noobleather said: As I said in the gallery comments WOW just WOW!!!!

No special lesson, only Al Stohlman's priceless books, studying of the works of leatherworker masters in an attempt to borrow some ideas and a little bit of patience 6 hours ago, JLSleather said: That's FANTASTIC.

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

Thank you! I think that this is the merit of the author of this wonderful photo of a puma that I used for this work.
