Nice work indeed! I'd also like to know more about the line burnishing wheel and also any tips for stretching the leather. I still sometimes have a problem with leather bunching up arond the heel and toe.
Thanks, Rob

CJ, my first thought after seeing that outstanding work was sending you the wood but I am terrified of both buggering up the screws and losing the wood in the mail.Is made it since the 1920's without having a screw touched and I would hate to seperate it now [email] http://www.hunt101.com/img/433666.JPG[/email].Maybe next time your down this way would work.

Thanks Jimmy,....I sometimes worry about the chiesel getting away on me, especially when working on an expensive piece...the burnisher is adjustable for height and bolted on to an acrylic plate....It's of my own design, I make a lot of my tools.
Rob, I buy the "whole" tanned pig skin and within all that leather only 50 % of it is suitable, most of it is too thick and tough to use...also leather has a directional "stretch" and you have to take that into consideration when cutting the chunk you are to use......fleel free email me direct if you wish to discuss further

A very nice touch indeed! Mr. Hurst, I must say you are a man of many wonderful talents, and I deeply admire all the work I have seen from you. Thank you for posting pics and explanations of how you achieve such fine works; even though I'll never have the skill (or guts!) to attempt such a thing, I do enjoy seeing "how to".
Thank you!

C.J.: Very nice work indeed and the pictures are a great tutorial on a job I've attempted on occasion myself. I have just one question for you - have you ever hollowed out the pad "plate" a little instead of the stock to give that nice sharp edge? --- John Can.

I'm glad you all enjoyed the post!
Jerry,..I'ts just regular 10 minute two part epoxy
John, I suppose it could be done but it won't have the same effect and the pad may start moving around after a while
