I really like the look of Ashton/Northern Briar’s sea urchins, but can’t really justify buying one right now unfortunately. A pre-drilled Molina kit came in the post yesterday morning though, so I thought I’d give it a go on my first pipe project.
I’m a leatherworker part-time too, so made a nice stitched Horween leather table stand to go with it. Having all that leather dye lying around was also most welcome. Colours are saddle tan base, walnut overlay and a mahogany/black dotted spotting bottom to top. Carnauba wax to finish.
All in all, a bit rough and ready compared to the ‘real deal’ I think, but all done with hand tools (bar the dremel holes) and I‘ll be proud using it! No feeling quite like making something for yourself, however it turns out. ?
