I'm a leatherworker, this is a slim wallet I dyed and hand saddle-stitched. All American cow hide and thread.
Very nice craftsmanship !!
Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

That's awesome PorkPatrol.

I love my original Slimmy but yours is on another level!
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

I like that! There is a couple in Ohio selling homemade leather goods. My brother got me this 2 years ago.

Spotted these wild turkeys in Tomales Bay a couple of weeks ago.  First time I have ever seen a white or albino wild turkey.

I had a 3d art class in high school where I made a leather stud belt ( I know I know but it was the thing at the time) I should have made a wallet. That is still my favorite class learned how to do a lot in that class

Let me know if you need anything, I do custom work. I'm thinking of doing hand sewn cast iron handle sleeves

Uh yes please? I'd think you'd have a few customers here with that. :)

I use the "heavy duty" black Lodge sleeve, but frequently remove it during the cook, unless actively moving the pan. My wife puts the sleeve on and leaves it the whole time she uses the pan. The sleeve falls apart near the pan from the resulting heat abuse. Either that, or I'm willing to blame her for it. Would/could leather hold up any better, do you think?

How about knife sheaths? Could use some for my Shuns.
Still need a 22" yellow

Looks great, I just started messing around with leather working but have a long way to go. Mind if I ask what weight and cut leather you use for wallets? I'm starting to sort things out but shoulders vs bellies and tans etc gets confusing.

Oh no! Those are nice little accessories. I use the silicone ones but they still get hot. Leather would absolutely perform better. It's natural fibrous structure lends to its fire retardant qualities. That being said, I still would not leave it on. It would dry out and get very hot. I'll come back to this, my wife and I decided it would be smart to move to a new house with an 11 month old two weeks before Christmas. Once we are settled, I'll make a few and post some pictures
