Hey Guys,

Just finished a natural leather belt for a Homie in Canada!  This one is going out with 2 coats of Obenaufs LP on it and boy does that stuff do wonders for natural leather!  I love the color it brings out and the added protection it gives is just icing on the cake!  Thanks for checking it out!

Looks really nice!  Hopefully it has fun in Canada!

[joesaintjohn]

That's beautiful, moonshine!

[J-IV]

Not too bad. Looks pretty legit, actually.

In the office with a customer.  Whilst waiting for him to turn up I made a small camera pouch with lower leg of some chopped IH-803 and a couple of MOP I had lying around:

[RedStripe]

ever thought of using some of your 'scraps' to make some knife scales Giles?…

An Ironheart handled knife would be

Oh yeah!  IH denim scales for a few of my knives AND my .45 would be the shiz!

[TJ]

Hell yes, I would definitely buy an Iron Heart knife.

I tried to get Haraki to allow me to do this a couple of years ago, he just does not get knives, so the answer was no…..

Now that you've posted it here, I remember reading that elsewhere.  Probably the Vulcan thread.  Bummer, though.

I remember reading that, but it's still possible to make a slab of 21oz denim micarta which could be turned into scales and retro fitted… if one has enough scrap lying around

Hey Guys,

Here's my latest project - a Field Notes cover that I made for my B-I-L for his birthday.  He's a cop so this should get some use!  Nothing fantastic as far as design, but I did use blue thread in honor of his profession.  A nice, healthy coat of Obenauf's LP was applied as well to get him started off right!  Hopefully my before/after pics are helpful to those of you who want to see the effects of LP on new natural, raw leather.  As always, thanks for looking!

I picked up a couple of offcuts from Giles's scraps bin last week and made this iPhone case. Incorporating 25oz denim, old Wabash and herringbone.

[Moonshine]

Simon,

great job!  And since the queue has already begun, I'm jumping in for the 3rd spot!

[Giles]

Pricing on the stuff in my scrap/off-cut bin is peaking…...
