Embossed belt:

Magazine pouches:

The bottom pouch in this pic was a commercial piece...top two are mine:

A black box (all I did is the leather wrapping):

One of my first carvings was for a set of cuffs for my sister:

And I've made a couple bracelets...

And some dog tags / keychain fobs

My four year old son seen this and said "Thats the devils belt!"
Great work by everyone involved.

 

[Eli Gautreaux]

Wow, great stuff! We have some serious talent here.

That belt is amazing Dave. Hand sewn? I'm afraid to ask how long that took...


Mike, I love the box. How'd you get the corners to lay so flat?

Thank you Eli. I cut to size and bevelled the edges to be sewn, and used a groover on the inside of the edges to make the leather more able to fold to 90 degrees. I cased the leather then worked over the box with a bone folder focusing on the 90 degree turns. Kept the leather on the box while drying. Later when completely dry I glued it to the box and then stitched the edges.

I've since picked up some similar wood boxes at garage sales because it's a fun project to dress them up and they make great gifts with a personal touch.

There is some beautiful work shown in this thread so far. Here is a possibles bag I made a while back. Made from partially braintanned deer skin, it has a quilled wheel and an antler button for a closure, aged tin cones, horsehair, and lots of fringe. All cut edges are backed up with hand cut lacing.

[Denny Eller]

You guys blow me away with your work. All I can say is WOW! It sure inspires me to see what can be done with leather and makes me want to try some of what you have done myself. And try. And try.

That is really slick. I agree that you need an Artisan machine if you plan to do more of those.2thumbs
