Hey Moonshine….do you have anything like this going on?

I'm in the market for a minimalist mid wallet, but if I could support a forum member I'd be all about that…

Hey Guys,

With winter fast approaching I felt the need to have a custom flash at hand filled with some of Wilkes County’s finest…  With that being the case, I simply wrapped this aluminum flash with some 2oz. natural leather and added my stamp and nickname to the bottom so none of my miscreant friends will confuse MY flask for their own!  I need to tweak the length a bit for future flasks, but this should work well work for a long time coming.  Merry Christmas!

Wilkes County's finest?  That stuff will make you go blind.  Besides, everyone knows you're only supposed to drink white lightening out of mason jars, usually while standing around the trunk of the guy who smuggled it into town.

Ah, memories of high school in NC…

Come on, Chris!  Don't give all our secrets away!  And yes, it will make you go blind!

Hey Guys,

I finally took the time to do my 1st hip quiver!  Took a bit of thought to lay out the pattern, but after that it went pretty smooth.  The only thing I plan on changing for the next one is the pocket on the front – it’s not got a ton of room in it due to the flap and the depth of the pocket.  I did welt the pocket trying to get a bit more room, but it’s just not as accessible as I would have preferred.  I’m sure it will function fine for storing a release but I’ve got big hands and the next one will accommodate them!  I made a pen/pencil pocket (the cut-out section under the belt loop) and it’s got 1 Dee ring with the cull arrow loop is on the other side.  I used rivets to hold the looped sections to the body of the quiver and the rest is hand stitched, which should be plenty strong for a long time coming.  The last pic is the natural leather with a nice coat of Mink Oil on it.  The quiver isn’t as dark as it appears due to the fresh application of the oil, but it is darker than the raw finish and should only get better with use.

Feel free to offer up suggestions on how I can make future projects better!  Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas!

Little tooling tutorial by a total leather noob.
Drawing the design

Transferring the pattern onto the cased leather

Cutting the pattern with my swivel knife

Hammering the pattern out

Lastly dying the leather after treating it with a mix of water and alcohol

That's cool dude!..

^AWESOME!  I'm not a tooling guy myself but I totally appreciate the effort required to do something like this!  Looking forward to seeing the finished project!
