Looks great, but the problem that I see here is that two of those weights will gradually get lighter and lose effectiveness over time. The others look really great, too. You also triggered a thought - maybe make a weight that is "indented" - sort of like a donut filled in on one side of the hole - that would make a weight that would also be a safer coaster, and might even be good to hold your smaller dye bottles more safely. - Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two of those are already empty! As for your suggestion, I’ve already thought that exact thing and may try it when orders for these let up. Gonna be tricky because of the size though.

battlemunky Report post Posted May 5, 2021 More excellent examples Mike! Are you using a roller for the texture in the middle or a stamp? If you are stamping, that is some amazing consistency across the work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoguePatriotLeather Report post Posted May 6, 2021 Very nice work! I too am wondering about the center texture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
immiketoo Report post Posted May 8, 2021 Thanks everyone! Yes, I am using an airbrush to create the fades. I will try the hand applied fade soon, but it will require molding after the fact so I’ve been hesitant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RemingtonSteel Report post Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) I really hate it when leatherworkers like you post pictures of their work like this. It just becomes one more item I have to add to my list of cool projects to try. Really love the pattern on the top weight, and I think that is the one I will to try to duplicate. Also I really like a good quality Rum as much as the next guy, but in my opinion a good Rye goes better with leather.
