In October 2005, in this blog, I showed the restoration of the big human figure carving I had done. (You can see it HERE) Now I have uncovered the photos showing how I did the project in the first place. Unfortunately it was before free digital photography, so I only have these few photos.
First is the start of the tooling:
The project was tooled on vegtan Blue Wildebeest leather.
And this was with the figure dyed completely:
...and then mounted and framed with a thin strip of leather - at the time I did not want any framing to take away from the carving itself.
This piece traveled 8,000 miles and underwent a lot of 'abuse', which was why I had to restore it in 2005. So this again, is what it looked like after the restoration:
