Leather Tie - Denny + Tony
We’re making a leather necktie!
Denny takes a regular necktie concept and turns it into a leather project, showing how the pattern was developed, how the top of the tie is constructed, what leather works best, and how the floral tooling design comes together.
Along the way, we talk leather weights, pattern making, swivel knife work, beveling, unusual homemade leatherworking tools, and plenty of other shop talk. We also answer questions from the live chat about leather selection, tooling, sheath patterns, briefcase leather, and improving your carving skills.
This one is definitely a shop hangout—there’s plenty of leatherworking mixed with plenty of banter.
