leathercraft

It has a pocket in the front for a sharpening stone. On the side, it has a ferro rod to start fires. It's for bushcrafting mainly. I know it's a little rough around the edges and my stitches aren't perfect, but it works!

I am having some issues burnishing some chrome tans. I would love to hear what everybody is using to burnish edges please

This is my first project that I'm pleased with, that I think actually turned out pretty well. It's simple but I'm happy with it. It's all handstitched. Unfortunately I didn't take a bunch of good pics before I gave it to my aunt.

I would love to start a (maybe monthly?) WIP showcase. Any interest? I’ll comment on what I am working on below. Feel free to add yours as well

I was having trouble joining but I got in! I'll post some pics as soon as my next project is finished. I'm excited to see all your guys dank stuff!

I would love to discuss designs and esthetics here as well. I got this new closure for a handbag and I am wondering if I need to go with a somewhat round or even just rounded corners?! Any ideas?

I am still fairly new to Leathercraft and just got into making handbags. Here are some pics of my first two handbags made from my own designs. Leather is Hidden Water from Sepici (green) and Blue Tidal from Arif & Sons (Blue)

I hope we can create a community here for Leathercraft. From beginners to experienced pros. Hobbyists, side hustle or professional saddle maker … all are welcome.

hope to see more...
