Opinel nº8 custom (not for sale)
It's been a while since I've been saving this piece of old red deer antler for a slightly bigger handle than my usual nº6 or 7. Quite happy with the final result and with the finish of the handle after filing to shape, sanding and polishing.

Leather Cartridge Wallet / Holder
This was supposed to be for my pal Derek for his 6.5-284 deer stalking r***e but as it was a first build for me and that I encountered a few little design hiccups on the way, I decided to relieve the pressure and make it for my own .243.
Since it was to be an 11 cartridge wallet, I wanted to try and keep the profile as slim as it could be which meant that a row 5 cartridges would fit in between the row of 6... After some trial and error, I got there in the end!

Sgian Dubh sheath (commission)
An interesting wee project which was a new one for me... A commission for a black Sgian Dubh sheath with a baseplate extending along the handle to protect the calf from the brass pommel.

New watch strap...
It was about time to renew the old watch strap which was beginning to crack and show obvious signs of wear. Still, it served me well as I made it 5 years ago and wore this watch every day since!

Leather cartridge wallet
This was made for a friend a couple of weeks ago. He asked for a 10 round cartridge wallet in 6.5mm PPC caliber. This first time project didn't work too badly but if I were to make another one I would definitely offset the two rows of loops so that they fit into one another when the wallet is closed. It would keep the profile lower.

𝗥𝗶𝗳𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘁-𝗽𝗮𝗱
After fitting the r***e with a leather cheek pad, the original plastic CZ butt plate looked out of place and was extremely slippery when resting against a smooth surface. A rubber pad would obviously have done the trick but I thought that a leather pad would be more in keeping with the traditional style. Some 11oz leather, far too thick for most applications, would do nicely! The butt pad has been reinforced with 3 acrylic spacers glued with epoxy and the leather piece has been stamped with a basket-weave pattern and hand-stitched with white thread to match the cheek pad.

𝗥𝗶𝗳𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗽𝗮𝗱
A few weeks ago, I decided to swap the synthetic stock on my CZ452 Style r***e for a more traditional wooden stock I had restored. However, the comb of the wooden stock was much lower than the original synthetic one and made shooting with a high mounted scope rather awkward. So, off to the leather corner and I came up with this design...

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗯 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿
I've been experimenting with a wet-moulded leather cover for my car key. The strap can be removed and the key pulled out to change the battery. I've been a bit impatient and didn't let the leather dry long enough when moulding it over the key, hence the slightly rough and ready look... Also, the 2mm thick leather I used was probably a bit too thick for this rather delicate project...

Hand-made leather wallet, hand-stitched with waxed red thread (105x75) and antique red inside pockets. These wallets age beautifully, building up a warm antique patina over the years.
