Beaver Paddle

It's a Beaver paddle paddle, for paddling beaver.  or whatever else you can lay it across.

The Beaver Paddle v0.1

    Two beaver tails, three pieces of leather.  All hand stitched and finished in neet's foot oil.

New Workspace

If a craftsman is only as good as his tools, then his work is highly indicative of his workspace.  And up until now, I have been using my dining table (which is a weird thing to call it since I never dine upon it).  I present to you my, new and improved, leather bench (insert fanfare and trumpets here).

 It's 8 feet long and has a 3/4 inch thick hardwood top.  the marble work surface is sunk into the top to provide support and vise-like immovability.

On the left hand end there's an 8 inch trash chute and I left the end open between the legs to facilitate removing the trashcan (not shown).

The 4 inch backsplash helps to keep from losing tools, bits and bobs down the back. while the open footprint allows for plenty of storage for leather.

The next phase of this evolution includes better lighting, and I intend to cover that lovely blank wall with pegboard and tool racks.  It's gonna be beautiful.

Basic Wrist Restraints

     Just finished these wrist cuffs.  Heavy 8 oz leather cuffs, with 8 oz leather strapping, dyed in our standard "Black & Blood" motif.

 

      Crafted as always, with a locking tongue buckle these cuffs are nigh-on indestructible through normal use.  The single greatest complaint I've heard about restraints in general is always "The rivets pulled out.".  We use no rivets in our construction, preferring to hand-stitch them, using a saddler's stitch (the strongest stitch in the leather world) which is not producible by machinery.

      All of our leathergoods are carved with the company logo, the runic MLC and is tooled with the individual artisan's maker's mark.

     This pair of unlined restraints are sized for wrists 9 to 11 inches, and come with a double snap closure to fasten the cuffs together.

Custom Leatherwork: Pistol Holster & Mag Holster

    I made these for my mate D for his birthday.    The left hand piece is a magazine holster and the right is obviously a pistol holster.

    Made to fit his TT-33, this outside the waistband holster is mounded with a beautiful and dynamic Asiatic dragon.  The mag holster is mounted with a Celtic dragon concho that was taken from the illuminated plates found in the Book of Kells.

 
    The leather is a nice 12 oz leather, dyed USMC black and  lined with a very lightweight crimson suede.  The stitching is red braided nylon and the entire exterior has been conditioned and buffed.

The Black Snake Moan Rope Beater

     Just finished this beater.  The nylon rope is doubled and bound with nylon whipping at the end and spaced to fit a considerably sized hand.

 

    Overall Length is 18 inches, diameter of roughly 2 inches.  Whippings are 4.25 inches from end to end.

    I've used a West Country whip finish, renowned for it's durability under movement and flexion.
 

  The soft swell of the beater rope between the whippings fits comfortably against the palm and allows for an easy swing.

 

The beater is soft, flexible and light in the hand. An excellent introductory beater, both for the Dom who's experimenting and the newly minted sub.
