Done. Darker motteling to give it a bit of character but not worn look. Dyed edges hand rubbed and hot waxed. Finished with a special harness dressing. Color never comes through well in photos, but it sure has depth in person.

Making old school gun leather the old school way. Love to hand sew with linen thread.

It's been too long since I did a small fender, so I broke out the smooth pear shaders and did a classic Hamley pattern from the 20's.

Strap work has its own beauty. Construction matters.

I love making special things for special people. Mouse pad with very old style flowers, old style birds eye background, basket stamped with a Don King basket tool, and a classic Carlos boarder. Number that have meaning. This is for an old cowboy at heart stuck out in Virginia who's making the world a better place. Love ya 187. A Squad.

All done. And on to the next couple of projects!

Everyone wants to carve flowers. Learn to finish an edge glass smooth, and then we'll talk. Details matter, and if you don't understand construction, you're just putting lipstick on a pig.

Almost done. Stitches are all saddle stitched by hand. White on the edges at 8 per inch and black down the spine at 9 per inch. Gotta rub edges, dye, and hot wax them. Then oil on the inside after shaping. Well, maybe not almost done, but a bit closer anyway!

Added a couple hours of decorative hand stitching in black thread. 9 stitches per inch. Because I can. 😄

White stitches on an antiqued piece is more work, but man I love the way they look.

Two needles and one awl. Details matter.

The inside pocket has to be pretty too.

Bringing out those details.

Dyed background is done one drop at a time.
