Flamed cuffs and fishy plier sheath

[Ebbtide]

Always wanted leather cuffs like in the movies.
No time like the present to make them.


I made a pair for my BIL the biker as well.
Fun is getting multiple pieces dyed the same.

Wow, nice carving and dye jobs. Is that antique?

Will you wear these, if so, when?

I love that fish too.

Very nice work, on cuffs i personally find them much more comfortable lined and with a roll at the wrist end. I've made a lot of them along with holsters, belts, chaps and spur straps for cowboy action shooting. This is the majority of the stuff I make in the two pics.

Thanx guys

Strigster… I'm thinking of using the cuffs when camping and messing with the firewood.
I usually get scratched up above the gloves when wrestling the deadfall out of the bushes.
Besides, it's never about need

Cricket Dave, nice looking rig.
I can see how lined would be better.
Next time

Need? No, I suppose not. They'd probably be about as useful to me as the flames that I had tattooed on my arms 15 years ago. Neat at first, but you don't necessarily want them on for 15 years.

Actually sounds practical for your uses though. When I go camping I just point my head knife at the wood and it splinters into kindling.

(ouch. making fun of myself twice in one post is a bit much! )

Here it is flat, just after I sewed in the giant stitches



The pliers gave the fish a nice curved look.

The back is the Y basket weave with the belt loop sewed on as a third piece.
The ring for the pliers keeper is brass so it won't rust like the first one did.
Saltwater is tough.

Here is the first version.

It was still pretty new then, much rougher now.
