First attempt at tooling leather

[HillBill]

Ok ok, its only a coaster from scrap leather. (90mm x 90mm).. practice piece as i've never done it before. Couple of small errors, but overall i'm happy with it.

First try at antique staining too.

I'm going to make another 3 of these for the house, then have a go at a sheath!

Hope you like.

very good, yes indeed

 

[sunndog]

Nowt wrong with that dude

 

[HillBill]

There were a few surface blemishes on the leather, hence it being scrap, but if on clean leather it would have looked better.

If I could do that I would be pproud!

 

[Harvestman]

Looks damn good to me. I wish I had artistic talents.

 

[Dreadhead]

nice one mate, knew a man of your skills would pick it up easily. The tri-weave stamps are good fun for wee things like that, but a real pain when you're using them for large projects like belts or book covers; drives me mad!

 

[GGTBod]

Aye man very cool first go, not that it shows you've never done it before like

 

[HillBill]

Cheers guys

Lol, hamish, i didn't even get that little bit quite right... i can imagine larger areas would be a pita.

 

[Dave]

Looks really good.

 

[dazcon]

Very nice! You've done an excellent job of that Mark. I'm looking forward to seeing the sheath now!

 

[HillBill]

Dave, Daz... cheers lads.
