And finally, a more personal project. I saw the Lewis Chessmen on exhibition in Aberdeen a few years back, and I couldn't get the image of the beserker out of my head. So i decided to carve it onto a viking belt pouch instead :)

I was also in the local press this month for Dumfries & Galloway Life magazine. I've been getting some support from D&G council, won a couple of awards through them, and they're now helping me get to more markets and such it's been great. Have been asked to do some radio interviews later in the year too which should be fun :)

I love the colour finish that you get on your work. If you don't mind me asking, what do you use? Or is it a trade secret? ;)

Hi Jim, I use fiebings professional oil dye, antique pastes, pure neatsfoot oil, and cut resolene. I like to mix and blend my own colours to get different shades ;)

my wallet arrived and I am very pleased with it. Good work.

Glad you're happy Terry, cheers

Second to the last... is that for a tafl set by any chance?

It is indeed, check out the Lewis Chessmen, they are a great find.

Cheer up Hamish! You made the paper....

haha cheers Mike, that's the photographers fault! I was also dressed up nice and smart but he said no, get changed into your manky leather clothes hahah
