I always loved floral carved leather and have wanted to try it for some time. I bought a swivel knife and some assorted stamps for the task last year but just hadn't had time to put them to use. I got inspired last week and decided to finally try my hand at it. Will Ghormley, who did the leatherwork for the remake of 3:10 to Yuma has also graciously provided pattern packs and a nice tutorial for the "Hand of God" rig that Russell Crowe wore in the movie. I thought it'd be perfect for my first try. I need a few more stamps and a better swivel knife blade but I think it turned out pretty good. He designed it for fast work so it does have a slight muzzle forward cant, which you can see in the third pic. Otherwise, it fits very well as is. I'll need to do some more practice pieces but will probably go ahead and start offering it for those who are interested.
