Blondies were a failure. The non-dairy yogurt was a failure. Some weeks are like this.
I did help my Beloved make a Chef's roll. I have had a little more experience working with leather and cutting things out then he has.
He finished a set of knives and decided that they needed a Chef's roll. The knives are beautiful in themselves but when you are taking them places they are hard to carry. That is what the Chef's roll is for. Easier transportation, especially since they are very sharp.
We bought two cow hides and sized them for the roll and the protector that covers the knives. We then cut out a piece that holds the knives in.
We riveted the pieces of leather together. I have done this in the past so I showed my Beloved how to do it and he perfected it. Every rivet was a learning process and there were even a few defective ones. After he put straps, buckles, and handles on, the Chef's roll was done.
The knives fit in nice and snug. I find I have to be careful when I pull them out but that is not surprising.
I am really pleased with how this turned out. We even kept some of the live edges from the hides so it is unique.
The knives and the Chef's roll are for sale at Serenity Knives.
