Seabass, first off I just want to say that I've been loving the leatherwork you've been posting and I think you've got a lot of talent.

I went through some of my past posts and listed them below if you want to check them out.  I can't remember if I've mentioned this to you before, but leatherworker.net is another great place to go for ideas, inspiration, and leather working advice in general.

Some of these are "build-along" type threads, but keep in mind I was self-taught and learning as I went, so don't take them as a "how-to".  There are probably things that I would do differently now, but that's what it's all about right?  It's a lot to sift through, but maybe it'll give you some ideas to try out.  Now that I see the list, it's no wonder I haven't finished a bow for so long!
