Time out from chestnut to work on another project, then get halfway done and realize it is supposed to be a lefty. Do over. Who is up for an extra gator inlaid mahogany and silver stitched??

Skyler,

If the right hand inlay does not sell by the new year let me know the price. I might be willing to take it.

Time to punch some holes. For the Makers who like the 'old fashioned way' with a stitchers awl that would be 125 x 51, or 6,375 holes and would take about half way to forever doing it that way, or an hour my way.

Remove the excess glue which gets on about everything around here and getting them ready for edge finishing

Tomorrow the cutouts for black start and stitching begins!
 
kinda bummed. thought I would order couple Saturday night. looks like pre order is closed. thought it was open till sunday.
 
Wow Skyler, amazing progress!!! :eek: :cool: Question - do you make those cutting dies, or do they just come in an assortment of sizes?

Cool stuff!!! :thumbup: Thanks for sharing the WIP! :D
 
The dies, currently over 500 of them, are all custom made for me from my own designs. I use a couple different companies to build them, I find one place is better at building certain things with sharp angles than the other. You can bet those welt patterns will be in the next die batch I send in :)

I will pick up a BS when they start hitting the secondary market and honor the Group price for anyone not in on this run. Just send me an email when you see the sheath available to order again.
