    Purchased a length of Basswood (imp USA) at the nearest Mega to make a strop for sharpening my carving and leathercraft tools ... no wonder they use this beautiful timber for decoy making etc ... it has a lovely scent ... I used veg tan leather ... flesh side on one side, finished side on the other ...

    Was talking to a leathercrafter when the subject came up about imprinting wood on leather ... wanted to use it on some old Redwood timber but it did not work as the grain was not strong enough ... so yet another dousing of the leather in water to make it really wet ended up picking up the 'design' on an old replaced Malaysian hardwood telephone pole ... the pen is a purchased one from a woodturning group who have a stall at the Rotorua A & P show ... used Eco-Flo Fudge Brown to colour ...
