Thought I'd share before I spoil it with a crap dye job.
2nd attempt at tooling
Have to say I'm a bit chuffed.

This is gorgeous; i am sure you spent some hours there. Well done!
If you do not mind roughly how long it took you to do that?
All the best,

You deserve to be pleased = looks much like a lot of Canadian limestone, including the fossil colorations.
WOW!
that is some fine tooling my good sir. Rerally acurate. you could look at that with out any description and say,
" yep, thats a T-rex skull."
incrediable stuff.
any idea what your going to do on the dy job? would you consider a mix of cova colours for the skull? you could mix a colour similar to the natural veg tan, or slightly browner? or are you planning on going to the other end of the spectrum and go with a bright red or blue?
With youtr leather work comi9ng along so well have you considered using that knotwork program to do up some intricit designs? I still love the stags head you let me use, and as its my kndle cover, its something that's used at least four times a day!

Thanks!
Is not a T-rex bit close enough.
I need to experiment with the dye job. A reddish Brown slightly lighter and polished on the bones would be the natural choice. Or did wonder about blacks and greys.
The knots are on my list but I do think I'd find geometric shapes a bit of a chore. Sooo much repetition.
