Pards!!! Display your FINISHED!!! Small Leather Projects here.

[Skeeter Lewis]

Good work, Earl. You'll find it's addictive.

[JD Alan]

BhB, far be it from me to criticize, I think it's a fine looking project.  One thing I notice is that the stitching seems to stick out a bit, which might cause unnecessary wear. In Chuck Burrows fine DVD, he talks about laying a stitch groove, then after sewing smacking down the stitching lightly with a mallet to push it into the groove.

On the other hand maybe the leather was not heavy enough to do that. Once again I think it looks good. 

[Ned Buckshot]

I always cut a stitching groove and then lightly tap the stitching down with a "shoemakers" hammer. It's got rounded iface to keep from marking up the leather.

Your off the a great start!

You are right JD, the stitches are sticking up... I´m going to tap them down. Tanx for notise and for the tip 

[Marshal Will Wingam]

BB, that looks really good. Very nice design.

Earl, your loading block is a fine one. Having the piece of antler on it is a good idea for pushing the last round into your rifle or maybe poking empties out of an R&D cylinder. Welcome to the forum.

[Johnny McCrae]

Howdy Boothill,
The Book Cover and Picture Frame are beautiful! Excellent job of carving and finishing!

Howdy Earl,
Welcome to the Forum. Great job on your Loading Strip! As Marshall Will said, adding the piece of Antler was a real good idea. The neat thing about making you own leather is when someone asks where you bought it from, you can say "I made it myself". We look forward to seeing your future projects.

Many thanks to you Gents for sharing your work with us.

[Ragged Earl]

Thanks for the kind words fellas.
I just ordered a couple pattern packs from Will Ghormley, so I'll have some more pics up....eventually

If I can remember to get the camera out I'll snap a pic of the stock cover I made before the loading strip.



*edit- by "Eventually" I mean it might take me a while to get anything done.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

That looks really good, BB. Does the leg on the back have a strap to limit how far back it goes?

Cute boy. Thanks for the pics.

No, dont have a strap, but I put metal between the leather so it dont bends.. A strap would work to.. Tanx for the tip.

[Gun Butcher]

 Great looking work Dusty. I love the different colors on the straps.

Bob, thats some good looking carving on that cover and the frames but that little hombre in the picture kinda captures the show.
