Looks good!  Leather work definitely lets you get your creative juices flowing.  If you need any advice or ideas, I found a really good leatherworking forum about a year ago.  You should check it out at leatherworker.net

If you're anything like me, you'll soon be doing more leatherwork than bowyering!

That looks really great!  What did you use for the stitching?

Very nice, Steve and especially since it is your first project. I love leatherwork. I owned a custom leather shop in Savannah 35 years ago and still dabble in it a bit. I especially like hand stitching.

Nice work! I too enjoy leather working. I make some home-made knifes from time to time, and make my own leather sheaths for them.

will do Chris.if you can wait a little,i am going to get some small buckles and sew on some straps instead of using stretch cord.heck i can't find black stretch cord anyway.someone asked what i used for the stitching.it is artificial sinew.
