go and ask the guys from the OGL store (ObbiGoodLabel) where they buy their leathers from if you have no other options...

or contact the member "Obbigood" for more details and infos, i`m sure he can/will help you on this one....

I haven't had much time to work on leather, (life, bills, etc, etc.) but here's a guitar strap I did for a friend a few months ago.

lunch sack design I'm working on- first working proto, coming down to Bonnaroo with me for testing this weekend.

[zissou]

^Nice, Corter. I have been thinking that I need a decent lunch bag, so I may whip up something simple.

I always love it when coleslawyum posts in this thread. Great work!

Great job. Really like the the textile choices for the wallets.

[malaujai]

nice stuff corter!

can buyers choose between stains/dyes on the outside and lining on the inside? or is it set?

[corter]

thanks dudes! these are all wallets I've made- not custom work.

[southfive]

im sure the answer is buried in here somewhere, but does anyone have a recommendation for online leather suppliers? thinking 3-5 oz, doesnt need to be top shelf stuff.

tandy, weaver if you have a tax id

Very simple ipad case, 11.75x8

handsewn as always

[McBaine]

Just a very simple card case wallet I made out of 4 ounce leather.

A Les Paul Custom pickguard i tooled and hand stitched for a metalhead buddy

pretty happy with how it came out

[akiragreat]

wow, never seen a leather pickguard.

Looks pretty cool, though.

[Happy Hooligan]

that's a cool idea and it looks cool too.

Can you get black regular head screws for it? I think it would finish better..

[ThinFinn]

^first thing that came into my mind as well...rest looks great though

[TheBlackGoat]

Thanks to everyone for the contructive critque. This is my les paul, the pickguard is going onto a all black les paul custom. I just put the pickguard onto my guitar for the photos. I agree about the screws. It does break the flow of the design.

Keeping with the metal theme, I made this gun bag for my tattoo artist.

I know its not really what this thread is all about. but hey! where else am I going to show off? this bag was a NIGHTMARE to make. lots of hand cut metal and foam pieces.

my artist friend

Ridiculously awesome. Small hard-case luggage like that is on my someday-list for sure.

Did you trade for ink? Because that would be a sweet deal.

Here's a smaller (12 X11) postal I just finished. The body is W&C 5 oz, lined with Horween front quarter horse. The straps are Horween horse butt, lined with FQ horse. The back pocket is Herman Oak. It gives you a good idea of the color difference between HO and W&C. The hardest thing about making it was turning it right side out.

[JAW]

wow this page is on fire! black goat that case is out of control! And unlucky that bag is beautiful. I love the lining. I've tried to do some leather lined bags, but turning em back out is stupid hard, so props to that.

hey unlucky! good to see you posting again

I have been meaning to order some horween front horse quarter.

what the temper like? very soft? or more like a english kip?

Thanks Jaw! that bag was a labor of love

The stuff I get is chrome tanned, so it's very soft but also quite waxy. It's not thick, maybe 2oz. Most of what I get are overruns. They have some funky colors, lots of marbling, and sometimes a stripe down the middle of the back, which makes me wonder if these aren't donkeys. Horween also does CXL front quarter horse. I got one once, and it it's incredible - much cooler than their CXL cow. It's hard to get though, since the big jacket companies, aka, Schott, Lost Worlds, Aero, and others lust for it. There's a tannery in Uruguay that veg-tans horse fronts. They used to sell on ebay, but now they will only do 10 hide minimums. I think they are around 100 bucks a side. I got one once and there was some waste, but the stuff that was good was amazing - nice firm temper, great color, consistent 2/3 oz.

[TheBlackGoat]

thanks for the info, I have been on the hunt for a good liner leather. something with some character.

amen on the CXL front horse, its hard to get your hands on. harder then cordovan it seems. at least the CXL Horse ass is not in high demand

You may want to give Ken a call at Booth

He's got some hair sheep and buffalo kip that is pretty bitching.

I forgot to mention how rad your pickguard and tattoo case are. I want to do a pedal, cord, and strap case. Right now I use an old suitcase, and it sucks.

Holy CRAP!! That's f'ing fantastic.

Is that natural veg-tan or dyed? Either way, it's really fantastic. I need a portfolio that can carry a handful of file folders. This color would be perfect! Gorgeous work.
