The wife was on Fakebook the other day and saw a local ad from a fellow leather worker posting some of his wares, an elderly lady asked if he could make a Yahtzee dice cup. The answer was simply no with not even a sorry but added. So being the kind heart she is offered my services lol. After talking to the lady and getting the info, what she could remember,  the next day she wrote back and said said she just couldn't afford one, I didn't quote a price. She wanted to replace one her late husband had bought at the local penitentiary and together they had worn it out. He was an officer there and she is 89 years young. 

 It took me about a full hour to talk her into taking the cup for no charge finally saying i would use only scraps to make it and it would provide me some good practice which it did.

PS i still hate lacing lol and my tooling stinks.

10 oz canyon tan with black lacing pig suede liner.

Good one. Your tooling is fine and the colour is nice

Did you go by a supplied picture or something? to match the old one?

Ach, sure you have a heart of gold and the faeries will always smile at you

PS. I hate lacing too, I always try to avoid it

Looks just fine to me. I used to lace everything, but not much anymore. Somethings just sort of require it.

Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
