Been making a couple of presents for friends this weekend and thought I would show some work in progress. Quite pleased with it so far.
There is about four hours in this so far, with probably another two to go.

I use a pump spray bottle with water and tandy easy-carve concentrate, wet the leather completely, wipe with a sponge and then wait for about five to ten minutes, untill the leather has regained its colour. I will also re-case if I feel its getting to dry, you can tell when carving as it starts dragging. I strop my swivel knife fairly often too.
