pouches and cases

The next step has been taken - she is getting pretty good at that tooling - better than I am FOR SURE!

How is she doing the scrolling work along the borders of the case and the Sak farmer kit?

I am glad she will have her own website - get that girl a machine and she can do this for a living for as long as she pleases I am sure.

Good Job Sierra - your dye work is getting a lot better too - people don't realize how hard it is to get that mottled look you have on the speed loader case. You can flood a sheath and it will look muddy in a heart beat - but you have JUST the right amount of dye to make it look right.

Thanks! I was an amateur artist before I started doing leather work, so I had a lot of fun sketching the coyote (or "koyote" as the case may be:D) and tooling the inverse of my drawing to make the coyote pop out.

Talfuchre, you just make me laugh :D. The only way to improve your tooling is practice practice practice... I have tons of pieces of scrap leather all over my desk that have had the shit tooled out of them :p.

As for the borders, I marked out where it would be with a swivel knife, and then stamped the tool that Christof described as looking like an I... over and over and over again...
 
and then you tied it all together with more swivel knife work and those weird spoon things.....

hahaha. Weird spoon things? Awesome terminology, very professional sounding :p. But yeah, that's pretty much what I did.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Christof put the two SAK Farmer pouches up for sale under gear and gadgets. :D
 
Pear shaders? Beautiful work, I really love the style and expression.

From the pictures of Christof's knives I have to wonder if he doesn't help with the dying :)
