New Leather

Have not posted in quite a while . Been trying to improve my leather work. I would love to hear comments as to how I can improve. All are hand stitched, and tried to finish by the same method as Paul uses.

Very nice Trav. I happily recieved Paul Long/Chris Crawford Basic and Advanced sheath DVDs for Christmas. I have learned a ton of information from the Basic alone. I love how your stitching finishes, very well done.

Okay, Trav. That is some good looking work and starting to show your own style. I like the triple crease mouths on the unlined sheaths. It adds a touch of class and it is the beginning of the "Travis style". Keep it up!

Paul

Not to shabby Travis! Always thought your work was just fine. Hope to see you in Statesboro (if they'll ever set the date).
