Members billybopp Posted August 15, 2021 Members Report Posted August 15, 2021 Looks great, as always. I've been wondering, though, how do you get the texturing like on the blue one? - Bill Quote

Just now, billybopp said: Looks great, as always. I've been wondering, though, how do you get the texturing like on the blue one? - Bill A question I get a lot. I experimented with a variety of materials with texture until I found one I liked and went with it. I encourage you to try the same. When you start looking at things for the texture they apply, nearly everything becomes a leather tool. Quote Learnleather.com

Eventually, I found a piece of plastic from an old CD box that I liked. The rest is history Quote Learnleather.com
Members Tugadude Posted August 16, 2021 Members Report Posted August 16, 2021 These are just beautiful. Perfect execution from the tooling to the forming, stitching and the edges. Sorry if I missed it, but did you ever explain what you use for the weight itself? Quote
