What Happens When I Apply Myself!

[leatherman]

This is what happens when I actually sit down and do the absolute best job that I can do The rose design is adapted from an old holster pattern. Theres several layers of color here making for that nice deep rich color.

I cant put in words how happy I am at how this one turned out! Oh yea, and after I adapted this design I went out and found a book of patterns, half filled with oak leaf patterns and the other half (about fifty or so) ROSE motifs. Heh heh, story of my life, day late dollar short.

Please let me know what y'all think.

Heres a slightly different lighting direction. By the way, Wilco is a very happy camper!

That is stunning! Something like that would look great on my other Mr. Mofo. How come you're using it to cover up a deer's butt?

 

[The Porcupine]

That is just beautiful Dwayne! Outstanding work!
Heh! I thought for a moment it was the sheath for my Coot until I noticed the missing pin lock!

 

[Progunner]

Very cool Dwayne! One of these days I will have to give that a try.
