Still working on the leather carving here. It's getting better, but slowly.
Looks nice from here! Way beyond my abilities and patience level. How long does it take to do something like that?
The actual time working on the leather is just a few hours, but the process of doing a step, letting it dry, etc. makes it a few days from start to finish. Drawing patterns takes a little while too.
Leatherworker.net is a great forum with a wealth of information. There are also countless YouTube videos with good leatherworking information.
