Leather Tooled Patch

So in the last couple weeks I started trying my hand at leather working. After a couple small attempts I decided I’d try a carved and tooled Bomb Group patch just for fun. I decided to do the 340th Bomb Group. I tooled and carved the leather one evening and then the next day I dyed the leather using dyes bought from Tandy Leather. Once dyed I went over it with an Antiquing Gel and then neatsfoot oil.

I am pleased with the results, it’s no where near perfect but it’s pretty good in my opinion for having never done one before and for having only worked with leather for a couple weeks now.

What is y’all’s opinion? Any constructive criticism? I know the lines aren’t crisp but that will come with more time and practice.

'Irregardless' of the obvious talent, you have the passion for the heraldry and the history. Look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

I’ll lay it on the lost worlds jacket I just bought off you on eBay
Great !
But can I ask why you didn’t buy that jacket off me when it was listed here? I always list jackets I have for sale here at a cheaper price than I do on EBay because I want to give the guys a break and I also don’t have to pay EBay and pay pal fees ?
