RIP old friend

Thanks Tony. Literally stamped out that end while waiting for some water to boil, so far from perfect. I couldn’t find my shading/beveling stamp for around the basketweave so it is messy. But works and a little different than plain

It sucks... but you know somewhere a guy has dropped his razor with no pants on.

So... Could be worse. Stuff happens.

Did that once, but luckily I was in the Hamptons!(j/k)......Seinfeld reference

What is the topcap... Leather that's steamed and pressed to take that shape... or?

Nothing special at all really. Just tooled quickly with a basketweave stamp. A cheap one actually because it was the smallest one I could find in my box of stamps. Then a shader around the edge but not the right one just kind of messy.

No steam no press or anything like that. Just wet the leather and tool it. Leather was already dyed so I really didn’t do much and most time I spent was on strop surface.

Shi*%y example of a few below. Just a stamp and follow the pattern.
