Leathersmiths.....show us yer stuff, (#1) THIS THREAD IS NOW CLOSED

Thanks everyone!! I love to carve, maybe it is because I am not very good!!! But I hope to get E for effort!!

I have made up my mind to do a belt, and I know it will take me a long time to do, but I feel that it is time to make the effort. If I don't try I will never be able to carve, so I must make lots of mistakes before I will ever be half decent.

Josh,
I can tell you for a fact, that if I can carve, I know you can!!!!!! The only thing I have going for me is, it doesn't matter how crappy I carve, I will allways try to be better. I have had the best teachers a person can have, (my friends on this forum) and now it is up to me.

Howdy Pards,
I know you all are getting tired of me posting my carving peieces, but the only way i think that I am going to get better is to try and make stuff. I finished these the other day.
Thanks for looking!

Ace, ol buddy, you are really gettin the hang of things. I agree with WC those cuffs have a really great period look to them. Mostly, I am glad to see you are able to do a little bit everynow and then. Keep it up Pard.

Thanks to everyone for the comments on the knife and sheath. I only have one problem... I am fresh out of files so I guess I need to start haunting the yard sells again

Howdy Ace,

Beautiful job on you Cuffs! You are getting pretty good at carving. These have a great look to them. Keep em' coming Pard.

Ace Lungger · December 04, 2009, 10:03:14 AM

Thanks Pards!!!!!
I have a new project in mind, and most likely will take a lot of time to finish! I enjoy seeing everyone's work, it seems to keep the fire burning in me!! It has got cold here so that will slow me down a lot!! But I hope to keep going!

Nice work on the cuffs Ace!

I never tire of looking at everyone's stuff. That's where some of the best ideas are plagiarized.

Safe trails,

Nice job, Ace. Those cuffs are cool. That tooling is good. You've really advanced your skills a lot in a short time. Keep 'em coming.

John M Cohea · December 05, 2009, 09:06:19 AM

I just finished this one for Kid Terico. It's a fancy one

Ace Lungger · December 05, 2009, 09:29:50 AM

Thanks for all the kind words on my cuffs. I know that they could of turned out better, but the only way I know to get better is by doing.
John,
AWESOME job!!! I only wish I had a little of your talnent!!!!!! I have sit and thought days apon days of making something that looks like that, but I never get started!! I guess I just don't have it in me to create leather goods that have that 1800's look!! You guys that make the early period leather goods have a insite that I just don't have?

John, Keep up the Awesome work, I enjoy looking at it so much!!!
