Very new to leather work. First time trying to wet mould. I’m very happy with the result :)

That turned out well! I’ll have to try that sometime. I always thought I need some sort of mold for it. Did you keep it in there while it dried?

Thanks.

Yep, I cling wrapped it and kept it in there while it dried. I was inspired by Chuck D from weaver leather making this: https://youtu.be/pgoxc0eaLGQ

Cool. I’ll try that. Thanks. Chuck is my hero! I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere without him. I do very different stuff than him but his techniques, knowledge and tips are invaluable.
