Post Your Leather Creations.

Hey Guys,

 

  Just wanted to post a recent wallet I just finished up for a friend.  He’s an avid Audi guy so the black, red and yellow colors are fitting for him!

There's some beautiful pieces here, is anyone here able to take commissions? I'm looking for a soft leather satchel.

Simple iPhone5 cover I made for my Audi Homie, hence the nod to the German flag…

This was a fun piece. English bridle interior, horsehide cxl trim, and ostrich leg inlay.

Natural midlength I did for a friend. Spent a few days in the sun before snapping these. And another...

Christmas Time's a comin'! Got a few things going out to the PO today and I thought I'd post the cartridge pouch I recently finished that fits five .30/06 snugly and quietly. The cartridge holder is the mate to the lighter natural belt and should patina nicely with use!

I have been lurking around and am amazed at the quality of the pieces here and in the original thread.  This is the type of work that really interests me right now and there are tons of examples of fine work here...Nice job everyone.

 

Howler - where did you find the English Bridle for this?  I am trying to find English Bridle and am really trying to find a piece of Red for a special project, but it isn't something my normal sources carry and I am at a loss for who to contact.

 

Thanks,

 

John

Really sharp looking piece!  What weight do you use for the interior?  Very clean execution.

Hey Guys,

 

  With winter fast approaching I felt the need to have a custom flash at hand filled with some of Wilkes County’s finest…  With that being the case, I simply wrapped this aluminum flash with some 2oz. natural leather and added my stamp and nickname to the bottom so none of my miscreant friends will confuse MY flask for their own!  I need to tweak the length a bit for future flasks, but this should work well work for a long time coming.  Merry Christmas!

Hey Guys,

I finally took the time to do my 1st hip quiver! Took a bit of thought to lay out the pattern, but after that it went pretty smooth. The only thing I plan on changing for the next one is the pocket on the front – it’s not got a ton of room in it due to the flap and the depth of the pocket. I did welt the pocket trying to get a bit more room, but it’s just not as accessible as I would have preferred. I’m sure it will function fine for storing a release but I’ve got big hands and the next one will accommodate them! I made a pen/pencil pocket (the cut-out section under the belt loop) and it’s got 1 Dee ring with the cull arrow loop is on the other side. I used rivets to hold the looped sections to the body of the quiver and the rest is hand stitched, which should be plenty strong for a long time coming. The last pics are the natural leather with a nice coat of Mink Oil on it. The quiver isn’t as dark as it appears due to the fresh application of the oil, but it is darker than the raw finish and should only get better with use.

Feel free to offer up suggestions on how I can make future projects better! Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas!

Are any of you guys using a leather splitter? If so, which?

That turned out great.

Check out Bruce Johnson...he has a ton of experience and can direct you to what you need.  He has lots of vintage tools that he refurbishes and sells.

Here's my first go at hand stitching.  I use Cable Linen Thread (Size 532) and really like how it turned out.  I need to get some pricking irons though...the back side isn't as nice as I would like.

 

This was a just a project I did for myself to toy with hand stitching...I am much better with my machine.

Which item are you referring to?

[rirakuma]

Thanks to a forumite I was finally able to work with some shell. This one is a gift for my dad, its got shell outer and 3oz HO inner. I'll be making one in full shell soon

 

 

[JanC]

How thick (oz) is Shell? Do they always come in the same weight from Horween?

Here’s a wallet I recently did – nothing spectacular but I think it turned out pretty cool!

Here’s Reggie with his new horsehide collar!

Here’s a wallet I made for a friend – He wanted plenty of room for cash and misc. papers/receipts, so he got 8†of wallet!  I think the roughout looks awesome and should only get better with some use!

Here's a bag I made for my wife's main Christmas present. She asked for it a LONG time ago and it was a total surprise to her. All hand stitched so this one took a good while to complete! She wouldn't have been any more happier with a Hermes Burkin. At least that's what she told me!
