Thread: Playing with leather

@Ftx325 The picture is for motivation.just to show what is possible. Judging by some of the posts you have put up I doubt it would be very long before you produce something similar.
Also,I have had a thought about @Gapped axe sheath.If you don't mind my input,what about a collaboration?
Your leather with his copper.
Perhaps instead of the leather braid,one of his copper ones.Or if @Gapped axe made his own kowhai flower from copper you attach it to the front of the belt loop somehow?.maybe riveted on top or fitted behind with a cutout to expose it.
Just a thought

Theres close on $2000 worth of gold in that bracelet. I was a tad worried when building it, but she said dont worry Bos if it goes wong we will just remelt and start again.

Ok guys.....l won't quit just yet .... Probably
That work of your grandad @hunter Al.7mm08 is the sort of thing I would like to have a go at but not quite to that level obviously....
It's okay @Gapped axe ... I am still developing a cunning plan ,so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel as Blackadder used to say.
It's funny you should mention a joint effort with axe hunter as I had considered suggesting the same thing.... great minds eh ?!
Now as I've mentioned I haven't tried anything like this before axe so don't expect to much but when I got home from work I dug out some scrap leather and after stirring my coffee with my favourite teaspoon, I decided to prove to myself that teaspoons can do anything...well , within reason... I wouldn't try changing a tyre with it....
So here's my first attempt at your kowhai flowers. Note this is only a half done test run to hone my Ninja teaspoon technique, the first of probably shitloads of them . I should probably admit l also used a small screwdriver.... I would like to say that the photo does it no justice...but I'd be lying...lol


Ok boys , what do you think? ... Be gentle with me....haha

Amd the stems a little longer, flowers are pretty bloody good thou
