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

[Moonshine]

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.

[Giles]

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…..

[TJ]

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.

[Giles]

[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…...

[MikeC]

Very nice Simon.

[Simon]

Thanks everyone  I may make another; if I do I'll stick it in the FS thread.
I think I may go with a couple of snaps next time as the button has already caused me to miss a call.
