Very nice Rob! If you really want your tooling to "pop" after you do your first staining....just use a small brush with the same stain and darken in areas to really make it stand out.

Works great also as a shader....for the shadows on your animal, putting it on one side of a tree trunk or rock ect to give them more depth.

You do understand that now you have done some tooling you will never stop!      :thumbsup:

QuoteI posted that my armguard with taned elk skin was uncomfortable in summer but I put the suede side against my arm and that may have been the reason. I see your deer skin has the slick side out.  
I didn't like the way the cow hide felt on my arm.  I just happen to have some deer skin and went hmmmm.  This might not be the manly thing to say but the smooth side felt better.

Now you tell me :-)I looked at your link and I understand what you are saying. Thank you for the advice, I will remember for the next time. I have put a sealer on this and don't know if I can put stain on top of it...
Hopefully you will see me as a better person today than I was yesterday..

Nice work, you should consider doing a build along.  That looks like a fun project.

Very nice. I would be proud to wear it.

The only critique is the liner. it looks a little waivy. Did you glue the two layer together?

Looks really good. Like the personal touches you did, makes it stand out. The more carving you do the better you will get.

It was just the reflections that made it look that way. Yes I glued it. I first cut out the deer made it a little bit longer and wider. Then put glue on about 1 inch wide and let it dry for a few and started attaching them that way
Hopefully you will see me as a better person today than I was yesterday..
