      @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…..

      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.

                Simon,

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

                        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.

                          Hey Guys,

                          Here is a watch strap I made for a friend.  It’s made from the same hide that a friend gave me from his gator kill back in the summer.  This one turned out great and my friend is very pleased with the end result, which is all I could ask for!  The only thing that was tough/hard with this build was the thread – it’s not the usual diameter that I use, so I had to double it so the stitching would look right.  Hand stitching with 2 times the usual amount of thread was a pain!

                            Hey Guys,

                            Here is my latest Field Notes cover.  This one is constructed with dyed 4-5 oz. veg tan leather with 4-5 oz. veg tan horse hide pockets.  The black stitching is hard to see, but it creates a subtle look that’s very “Darth”!

                              Made this one for my IH-homie, natehate.  Nothing fancy, just raw veg tan leather, brass buckle and Chicago screws, but that’s a good thing!

                                            I posted pics of the interior layers a few weeks ago:

                                            Just finished the exterior layers last night.  This is now complete.  Colored pencil, oil pastel on paper:
