Cheers Chad, ill send it your way if i didnt hit the nail on the head!


And Rud, you might want to get your shoe ready mate.. my mates not only a picky bugga but he hasnt got a clue how long these things can take to make. He only asked me to make it on Friday and iv had 4 phone calls since then.. lol

Ps i forgot to mention! Iv finished all the straps now and iv just realised iv ran outta rivets so ill have to stitch them on.

If all ends well ill post a picture up when iv finished it in an hour or two.

I know its not leather work, but the pyrography is done by Lindsey.

 

[cowboy]

Again, lovely detail from Lindsy. Such a shame she isnt on the Forum any more..

Is that a plastic or wooden spork mate?

 

[Dean]

It's made from Silver birch, made it myself.

 

[monkey boy]

Wow that's looks cool, I don't want to sound thick but what is pyrograph

 

[cowboy]

That's awsome Dave! You have a great talent your self!!

Pyrograph is the art of wood burning. It can also be done on leather and other things too.. the tool used for it is simular to a solder where a brass tip is heated to burn into leather and if your really good you can control the burn and achive shading and other affects

That's like a hard thing to do, I would love to give it a go

You can pick a kit up pretty cheap on the net for around £20

You should give it ago mate! Its a lot cheaper than buying all the embossing tools you need for leather work!

Superb work Matt - really like the style of this and some of the other recent leatherwork you have shown

Looking at all that fantastic stuff makes me think my hands are not much better than stumps. I could not do that kind of stuff in a million years. It all makes me feel quite cack handed.

 

[cowboy]

Thank you very much granite head ! Iv had some fantastic feed back that is treasured. Its made me consider upgrading to a seller on the forum?..

 

[cowboy]

Presterjohn don't loose hope mate. Everyone starts somewhere.. Some of my first bits of leather work looked more like a pigs ear.

 

[Granite Head]

Go for it!

[cowboy]

Fishfish, iv just seen your axe handle! Very nice job there mate! Looks like a Tricky design. Was it hard to work on the curves of the handle? I've been thinking about doing something on my bucksaw
