Thanks Rich, I have just scratched the surface on where I want to take my Savers. There are so Many ideas that I have running thru my head I cannot wait to get to the next one. I know you appreciate (after looking at all your fine work) the work that goes into making something like this, especially the stitching by hand, there is a ton of it in each saver, never mind the expense of the leather and exotic hides I use.
Hopefully many more to come.

Oh the beauty of such fine craftsmanship. That is just awesome. Magnificent.

Otheron the 'lid' & possibly under the slot for the topknot, you don't have much. Unless the customer wants more intricate inlay. Hand Sewing City, here you go!;)

Nice work Ken! How do you hand stitch all that and not be crippled after it? I have trouble doing 100 or so stitches a night without my hands cramping up.

Thank you Chris, there is a lot of TOUGH Stitching on my savers,, tough hides, (the shark ones I made were extremely tough) and awkward, trust me, my hands are very sore after making one. I take my time and do one section at a time.
I take a few Aleve pills , a few beers and a Hot tub after stitching. I tell my customers that making one is a love hate relationship,, I LOVE THE FINISHED PRODUCT,, BUT I HATE MAKE THEM!!!
