MASTER LEATHERWORKER
Part IV: ERB and Barsoom Leathercraft
I decided to try a leather clock face using Barsoomian decoration. It should be a good addition to an ERB-themed room.

The saddlebag was made for a Civil War re-enactor friend, but is also applicable to Captain Carter (although it's Union, not Confederacy).

I made a number of koozies for Rudy Sigmund's ECOF, as well as key fobs for various other Dum-dums and ECOFs.

In the grouping shot can be seen the blue Amtorian basto (I used a truncated cow skull as the base).

The wine carrier and flask were created to hold the "Voice of Barsoom".

When I designed the Tars Tarkas sword and sheath, I had no Barsoomians handy to display it so I concripted a passing four-armed ninja turtle as a model.

Frank Grainger put me on to the Barsoomian swords from the JCOM movie, so I made a leather JCM shield thingie to go with them where they reside in my library.
