The template was another one from Odin down in Texas. The hide was a 2-3 oz Cognac chrome tan from Montana Leather Company. On this one, I tried laser engraving out for my company logo and spent extra time dyeing the edges black and burnishing to a high gloss.



Will do and thank you! For this particular leather I thought the simplified approach would good for a dressed up night out. I have other, thicker leathers that I’ve made these from, and they wear into a nice long-term patina a little more readily.
I really like that Saddleback design! I’ll have to tinker to see if I can come up with something akin to it. Maybe an airbrush dyed veg tan. 🤔
