Very nice work! Like your Oak leaves especially. I have made a number of oak tooled items and in the past used the craft patterns available through the leather craft suppliers. I never was really pleased with them though. Back in the early eighties I started making my own patterns for tack and saddlery while doing repair work for others. I'd take tracings of tack I had been given to repair and improve them to my liking. I got to where I was able to make my own patterns from scratch. It took me a lot longer to attempt drawing my own tooling patterns as well.
Hello I have a question, in one of your saddle videos you rub what looks like an oil into the leather before you painted on the dye. Is this 100% neatfoot oil or? And do you seal with saddle lace? Or wax ? I'm reworking a saddle for a friend and want to do it right. Ty
Any time I see one of your new videos I immediately stop what I'm doing and watch. A real master.
I feel the exact same way, what a joy it is to watch a true master create a work of art.
Your work is truly amazing. You’re one of the main reasons I got into doing leather. I’m still in awe of your work
The attention to detail is just stunning. Half way through I wondered what he was going to do to fill the rest of the time. Now I know.
Wonderful work, as always. I really like your tooling style. I just wish you had shown more of the tooling of the holster.

What size thread you used for hand stitching the holster. Very nice rig
Hand stitching is 1 mm braided polyester, the bullet loops are sewn by hand with 0.6mm polyester and the machine sewing is size 277 twisted polyester.
What brand are those pricking irons ?
These ones are Vergez Blanchard.
Any arab designs?
It's gorgeous
