AndyL1 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Posted May 20, 2020 Another custom Aidan satchel heading out today. All hand dyed full grain veg tan, hand tooled Callahan crest, inner pockets for a tablet and other essentials, sized to fit a 15” laptop. I’m having a hard time letting this one go. Quote

CFM Hardrada Posted May 21, 2020 CFM Report Posted May 21, 2020 Capital! Love the tooling: it's neat to see something other than the floral carving whose ubiquitousness has made it boring. Quote
Members Retswerb Posted May 21, 2020 Members Report Posted May 21, 2020 Wow. That crest looks amazing. Thanks for sharing! Quote

I’ve got another crest in the works now and I can’t wait for you to see it. I love doing these types of things. Sculpting the mantle is a lot of fun. Quote
Members JayEhl Posted June 3, 2020 Members Report Posted June 3, 2020 Hi, Such astonishing work. I noticed the fonts on the initials were unique. Was that a special stamp set or did you make your own? ~JL Quote

I have about 15 hours in the tooling. Probably another 15 to make the bag. Quote
Members AzShooter Posted June 4, 2020 Members Report Posted June 4, 2020 Most excellent work on the outstanding bag. Photography is awesome too. Quote
Members NewForestLeather Posted July 4, 2020 Members Report Posted July 4, 2020 The dye work on the crest is spectacular. How do you go about applying dye like this? Or was acrylic used in places? Fantastic work, thanks for sharing. Quote

The color is a combination of leather dyes brushed on and some very fine point Sharpies. There’s three different greens in the tree. The helm is diluted black dye, the mantle has diluted green dye as well as the grass. Quote
