Repurposed kilt buckle...
Even though this isn't a directly kilt related project, I wanted to post pics for a couple reasons. Firstly, I used an old kilt buckle in the construction. Secondly, I couldn't have achieved success in this project (my first attempt at real leather working) without the kind consultations and suggestions of L. Adron Britt, master sporran maker. Thanks, buddy.
Now, on to the goods. It's a cover for my girlfriend's prayer book. I used deer hide, oil tanned leather, and the extra hip buckle from one of my old kilts... and it's hand stitched- didn't use one of those "sewing awl" things; used a plain awl and thread with a needle on each end.
Constructive criticism is most welcome, as this is, again, my first real endeavor in leather work.
