Members HaloJones Posted August 15, 2020 Members Report Posted August 15, 2020 Looking good, what size is it? Quote
Members DustinSmith Posted August 15, 2020 Author Members Report Posted August 15, 2020 The leather is 12"x12" Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted August 16, 2020 Members Report Posted August 16, 2020 That would take a lot of intricate tooling! Well done! Now can you please explain to me why you are calling it a 6 foot turkey, when it's obviously a dinosaur or lizard of some sort?? Quote
Members DustinSmith Posted August 16, 2020 Author Members Report Posted August 16, 2020 Lol its a reference to Jurassic Park when the kid calls it a 6 foot turkey Quote
Members DustinSmith Posted August 16, 2020 Author Members Report Posted August 16, 2020 Its actually a deinonychus skeleton, a larger version of a velociraptor Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted August 16, 2020 Members Report Posted August 16, 2020 Been too long since I saw that movie, obviously! Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted August 16, 2020 Members Report Posted August 16, 2020 So much detail! Awesome work! Quote
Members Rbarleatherworks Posted August 16, 2020 Members Report Posted August 16, 2020 Wowzers ... Beautiful work and now what will you do with it? Quote
Members DustinSmith Posted August 16, 2020 Author Members Report Posted August 16, 2020 Haha well I was gonna keep it and display it but all the joy for me is in making it so I'll probably just put it up for sale Quote

Members HaloJones Posted August 17, 2020 Members Report Posted August 17, 2020 Amazing feel of depth & detail Quote
Members battlemunky Posted August 17, 2020 Members Report Posted August 17, 2020 I'm not taking away from any of it, but man, you really did those teeth well. The bones you can kind of make them look how you want and we'd never know but the teeth...those are great! ...I gotta get better Quote

But just want to say I think that is superb. I really get the six foot turkey reference. Been having a lot of wild turkeys in the neighborhood and yard this year. For some reason, as Fall approached, I noticed some of them running. Not sure why but haven't seen that in years past. What struck me as they leaned forward and ran was how much they resembled a Velociraptor. Anyway, your tooling is sculptural art. Edited November 3, 2020 by slipangle Quote
Members JayEhl Posted November 4, 2020 Members Report Posted November 4, 2020 Definite sculpture art. Frame it, hang it and put it in your office. Or it'll make a really nice Christmas gift. But I would keep it, myself. Quote
Members corkscrew Posted November 6, 2020 Members Report Posted November 6, 2020 Very nice. Great detail work Quote CorkscrewTom
Members Woodshed Posted November 9, 2020 Members Report Posted November 9, 2020 Man that is nice! Quote
Members bbass408 Posted January 29, 2021 Members Report Posted January 29, 2021 Can you share info on how one would even begin to do tooling like that. For a noob like me, I would love to just know where to begin. It is stunning. Quote
Members DustinSmith Posted January 29, 2021 Author Members Report Posted January 29, 2021 I use a 00 Barry King checkered beveler (the smallest size) to do alot of the detail work and I studied a picture of a real skeleton then used a very small checkered pear shader and lifter to get all the nooks and crannies, then used a micro filligree blade on my swivel knife to do the small decorative cuts Quote
