You really have some great looking work there bud! Keep it up.
 
Thanks guys! I really appreciate the compliments.
 
Here's my latest I just finished up after getting home from work .. Plain Jane and Naked. No dyes .. just straight veg tan and some then some clear kiwi. I'll Neatsfoot it later. I think it would be the bomb-diggidy if wet molded and then just left to naturally patina.

I kept the skin's branding scar in play .. kinda like the story it tells.

Thanks! I really really like it too. Hard to make one so simple/clean - and I cant stop holding it and oogling. So happy of how it turned out. Think I'll try to make another. :)

You've inspired me to make my next one with no dye
 
I've made a handful without dye and they do age up nicely.

I need to get more tools. I don't have a drill press. I just burnish by hand with a piece of Jeans material and an edge slicker.
