GB wildlife hatchet

[Alchemist]

Hi all. I had a birthday last week and was spoilt. Leatherman wave and a GBwildlife hatchet. I can't stop using them both. I have attached a link to a slideshow showing what I have done with the hatchet. I love the thing.

It should make sense. I have made a stool with the help of a few other tools and made a belt lop for the axe which hasn't been finished.

2 questions:
1) how do you guys finish your leather work?
2) where can I get a well priced 25 or 32 mm hand augar?

As always my work is functional but not pretty.
NB- I don't like the way the image shack slideshow zooms in but I can't seem to change it.

Thanks for looking, Nick.

Nice work!
I finish leather as follows -
Brown dye - Dylon leather dye
Black dye - home made vinegar and rust mix
Edges burnished while damp
Undyed leather - boot wax to shine
Dyed leather - shoe polish of matching shade

Seconded, I bought one a week or so ago, then my mate also made a purchase after seeing my auger.
