Wow,y'all have some serious talent.

I tried to add this to the other post, but image limit was reached.

Finished and oiled

Just curious, what is the best way to learn leather work, tooling particularly, for someone that knows absolutely nothing about it ?

Tandy Leather beginner's kit. Some Al Stohlman books are good to have on hand...also at Tandy.

Try Youtube as well.

I'm no pro at either but I started making simple sheaths for my knives. It's alot of fun.
Benjy, where did you get that black handled knife? It looks like a helle blade I made years ago. Mike "


I believe I got that from Rastaman a few years ago. It is a Helle blade. It has some file work on the back edge.

i have done a few quivers in my time and all hand sewing done and then burn some sort of animal on to it or put beads on em etc etc. all good fun  

Benjy, like this?

 

you all have amazing talent.  I can only dream to make something 1/4 as beautiful and functional.

That is it! I sent you a pm...

I pick up old leather items at thrift stores and make them into quivers, sheaths, etc.  I like the wethered look of used leather.
