Detail work on Feathers

- In this video I show how I get my detail into my feathers that I tool into leather. The detail work is what gives the feather a more 3D appearance and the feel of a real feather.

Wow, the feather jumps off the page! Fantastic!
excellent tutorial. I've recently acquired some old leather working tool's ( including three swivel knives ) to go with some newer ones I have. I'm glad I found your channel. thank you
Don Gonzalez, wow, beautiful feather!
Man, you make it look so smooth and simple. Great videos.
Great information and teaching video, I’m a 77 year vet Newbie and enjoying your work.
I learned from an older gentleman a few years ago and he taught me to use a swivel blade made of 5 #3 exacto blades fused together and it looks beautiful
Disculpa amigo como sellama la herramienta de 5 cuchillas

Learn something new every day. Thanks Don!
Love your work! It's always beautiful.
Beautiful work Don. Thanks for sharing your skills
That is absolutely great!
Best feather tutorial available on CZcams
Incredibly helpful video, thank you for sharing!!!
I'm learning so much from your videos! Thank you very much for the work you put in to the videos...
BTW- I think the deal in the middle of the feather is called the Quill..
Very informative! Thank you so much!
You make it look so easy. (The great ones do that).
Gave me some great ideas for wood carved feathers.... thanks!

Awesome work! I love how you used the modeling tool to make those little marks!
Beautiful!!
Looks great!
Great video
beautiful
Very nice Gonzales.
How beautiful
Nice job young Man.
I do a bunch of feathers, but you do a better job.
Thank you for this.
Nice! Very helpful. In ancient times the "spine" of the feather was called the "quill", and they used them from certain large birds, such as geese and turkeys, to make quill pens. It was a bit of an art to cut the inside tips of the quills so that the ink would flow smoothly for beautiful cursive writing. That quill cutting needed a very sharp knife.
this is where the term "pen knife" came from.
What technique would you call this? Etching? Kind regards. Great work. Fascinating.
You be... so easy !!
Quill, quill, quill. The spine of a feather is a quill.
But terminology aside, very good work, beautiful in fact.
One of my cousins was a saddle maker. I spent hours in his workshop. I do leatherwork (as a hobby) to this day. I myself was a cowboy and handled lots of saddles, but I could never tackle a saddle. I tip my hat to you.
Sir ,thanks for your video . I wished you showed us how did you hammer around the edge of the feather.
Cool as hell brother
+Franklin Neely thanks!
Thank You again. G-G
Excelente
Thank you! I wish you wouldn't have skipped over the beveling portion though. 😕
I started tooling the other day as a new hobby. I was having a really hard time using the knife until I watched one of your other videos! You'd be impressed if you saw what I can do with it now. Beveling? Nope. I suck. I guess I should watch more videos.
Anyway! Thanks a million!
I agree about the bevelling as it’s a huge part of this looking great.
He put together a dedicated video on beveling, as well as multiple tooling videos. Check them out, they're very well done
👍😉awesome.
Üzerine uguladığınız zemin nedir. Tahta mı? Yoksa biraz yumuşak bir obje mi ismini yazarmısınız
how do you case your leather
Man that was slick....but I know you make it look easier than it is
I like your the tool you are using any link for purchase?
Great work total master
vc tem desses a pronta entrega? e cm fasso para comprar
Good tips, can we see what it looks like after dying ?
What size of blade do u use on the swivel sir ???
Hey Don... how did you get the obscured line of the draw... did you burned them or just dyed??..
What did you use to bevel the feather?
NICE! What is that scoring tool called again? Where did you get it?
It’s a modeling tool made by Peter Main, but there are many brands. This one is a custom tool and just have to catch him when he has some.
What kind of swivel knife are you using?
hey buddy u think you could send me a video in how to buck stich a knife sheath?
Don, I'm looking for a Masonic square and compass 3D leather stamp. Do you have any idea where I could find one?
maybe the masons have some sort of pin they give out....or a printout that you stick pins through to stab dot-to-dot markings onto the leather or wood then just connect the dots with your tools
Very nice. Did you use the same tool to make the lines coming off of the spine of the feather?
+Truck Capt I use a leaf liner there and then carry those out by hand with this tool.
Wow 😳
Did you use a regular beveling tool on the spine of the feather, then the modeling tool to create the veins near the spine? Or did you use a beveling tool that already had lines in it? The lines emanating from the spine outward (when you first started the video back after beveling, before you explained the modeling tool) look so perfectly spaced it made me curious. Thanks for the awesome vids. I can't tell you how much I've learned from you already.
+E.J. James hey there! Thanks a bunch! I can’t remember on this but I usually use a normal beveler and then come in with a leaf liner (trapezoid shaped lined beveler) to get good lines down in the never along the spine... then I use the modeling tool to extend those out. Thanks a bunch brotha!!! I appreciate ur support!
Cool
Good stuff...... being left handed i have to branch off to the left and if i need a better look at some of your great videos i have to watch it in a mirror and you magically become left handed
LED ZEP!
🔥🔥
Formally, it's called a rachis, or shaft or quill.
Hello DonI couldn't catch what you were saying about the type of pencil you're using so I turned on the CC and it said 8V artist pencil from Hobby Lobby or art stores. I looked in Hobby Lobby, Dick Blick, and on Amazon. I cannot find an 8V pencil anywhere? 8B yes, but not 8V? I tried a regular old #2 but it won't show up on dry leather. I'm at a loss, any help you can give would be appreciated. I DO have a few Stabilo pencils for doing graphic work on metal from my old airbrush days, but they don't do a clean job on leather AND they wash off with water, so as soon as I case my leather the lines begin to disappear. Help!!!stoney327
+Stoney327 yes sir it is an 8B graphite pencil. Sorry bout that! I buy the cheapest ones I can find and usually can find 8B in a two pack so u don't have to buy a complete set of graphite pencils. Good luck man and thanks a bunch!
DonThank you very much. I thought I was losing my mind for a little while. Well... I might actually be, but that has nothing to do with this.:~))))) I sent a couple of emails to your dgsaddlery email address through your website. Just wondering if you received them? I hadn't gotten any replies. I just got this new computer and email program and I HATE it. I never know for sure if anyone received my emails. God bless. Keep up the great videos...PLEASE!!!!Stoney327
do you think is work also with vinyl?
+Serena Serra I don't believe it would... leather takes water through the casing process and allows the material to be manipulated by tooling. Vinyl is water proof and I don't think it would work.
which kinds of leather is this?can you tell me?
I use Herman oak mostly. I'm pretty sure that's what this is!
im sorry but can you tell more about the Leaf Liner, im new to leather carving and gg search get me various different tools
I use a Barry king leaf liner. He has great tools!
thanks, ill go check it out
Are you an artist,? Or did you just learn to start drawing stuff yourself,? Beautiful work, Thanks for sharing.
+MyREDTAIL thanks so much! I have drawn most of my life and work in graphite and oils as well. Drawing skills are a definite help but those can be learned with practice.
What kind of Tools do you use to burn it into the Leather.?
+MyREDTAIL there is no burning involved in this. This is carving and stamping leather which gives it the impression and texture. There are some articles on my website that go through the tooling process deeper.
What an idiot!!!!
Lol
Achilles last stand
Whrn we look at this to learn why would you skip your outlining of the feather it dont make sence
3:30 надо было оставаться
Gonzales, I apologize.
vc derrepente mostrou ja sombreada,
Led Zeppelin,
Its not really "lead" its graphite or carbon base not really toxic like lead
