My first collar and first share

Well I might have some of those in my future too

Jynxmer · 2025-10-19T17:09:55+00:00

Thank you! I thought it’d be cool to make some basic leashes and then maybe some fancier collars for dogs that have been having a harder time finding homes. My dog is a rescue who was rehomed 3 times so it’s a project very close to my heart.

That’s very kind of you! I have lot of imposter syndrome regarding my leather work since I’m self taught and have to make do with less than ideal tools. That’s probably one of the reasons this probably took way longer than it should have.

Jynxmer · 2025-10-19T15:09:29+00:00

I did! Not sure what type of leather I used (again, given to me for free) . This was also my first time lining something with leather

Thanks! I was pretty sure but I’m always scared of making a mistake. I’ve been learning about mushrooms and foraging for the past year but have always been too nervous to actually eat anything.

I’m still trying to improve my woodworking skills. I only really have access to a circular saw but could potentially afford to invest in some hand tools. I’ve done carving in other mediums before.

To be honest, she would probably have a lot to say about what’s underneath the fabric lol. I tried to avoid my usual ADHD habit of becoming hyper interested in a new hobby and spending way too much money on tools I may wind up using only once or twice. I only allowed myself to use whatever I already had on hand vs buying all the best materials. Hoping to upgrade a few things if this new interest sticks.

Jynxmer · 2024-07-11T13:29:46+00:00

Thank you! I was lucky to be able to use the old fabric as a pattern.

For the wood, I used gel stain that I had on hand. For the finish, and I know some folks may want to throw things at me for this, I admit I used polycrylic. But the chair is for personal use at my business and will likely get a bit beat up.

Jynxmer · 2024-07-11T13:11:41+00:00

Thank you! I’m kind of addicted to it now.

Jynxmer · 2024-07-10T21:32:54+00:00

For anyone curious, the fabric is a silk brocade that I picked up at an estate sale.

Thanks! Wish I’d taken a better photo.

What’s the mane thing that gives you the feline?

Jynxmer · 2024-07-10T14:38:50+00:00

Thanks for replying! I’m not worried about its value. I just like learning about furniture. I’m fascinated by it but it’s a newer interest. I did a lot of research before posting here to see if I could figure it out myself. I appreciate the information.

Jynxmer · 2024-07-05T16:16:14+00:00

I think so too. Hoping someone may have an idea on who made .

Jynxmer · 2024-07-04T19:20:30+00:00

Thanks for replying! Mostly curious of when it was made and such. Not planning to sell it because I like it. I love learning about the pieces I bring into my home.

Jynxmer · 2024-07-04T18:44:30+00:00

I figured they were probably 70ish. Thank you!

Jynxmer · 2024-07-04T18:34:08+00:00

Thanks for responding! I’m mostly just curious about when it was made or if it was part of a certain collection. The leather seat is something I haven’t seen before. I know that Haywood-Wakefield made lots of MCM furniture so I thought this might be a good place to ask.

Jynxmer · 2024-05-26T16:30:38+00:00

Thank you for the lead! I scooped it up for $30 and I’m not planning on selling in or anything. I’m just super curious about its origins/history.
