eh, eh, thank you for the compliment. Not going to tell you where the seam can be found.John, Which side did you stitch up? Can't detect the seam and you've shown for sides...
Earl:I like the leather! How did you do that???
There are three 100% leather pens that have been sold. They all had the basket weave look. You aren't alone in your taste for full leather design. :wink:I like the leather. Personally that would be cool for the entire pen. I like the antler too and you did an awesome job on the pen. Just the two for me personally doesn't do it for me. But don't let my personal taste detract from the good job you did.
Thank you for your observation. We started the renovation on September 1st. The house was the priority and the workshop last. There were two Christmas orders that needed to be filled and I became rather anxious; one of them with a $100.00 deposit that would have had to be returned. Friday the power (last thing) was connected. Saturday we had two young football players move the equipment from the Packed garage into the new studio (now packed), We spent Saturday afternoon just getting the lathe and band saw running but did not put anything away. Sunday saw eight hours of turning and Monday the shipments went out. That was too close for me. :biggrin:Glad to see you have returned to the pen making. Your shop must be up and running full capacity. the pen is awesome..............

Made a tubular press from cutting board material. Glued, wrapped the tube and then screwed the press tight and left it over night.
Thank you for asking.
