Work in progress-horseshoe coaster paperweight

[snowleopard]

This is going to be a gift for a very kind farrier who has given me a few large files, and has got an old gas forge lined up for me!

The leather has been moulded onto the horseshoe, and the holes have been done with a dremel.

More coming soon

Finis! The paperweight has been dyed and stitched fully. The only thing left to do is to burnish the edges.

That'll be an heirloom one day. It's got that genuine high-quality hand-made look that is hard to find these days. I bet it feels great in your hands. Well done! :happy-clapping:
