cuir bouilli

So the other morning I decided to test boil a few pieces of leather to harden them. About 30 seconds in the pot and they came out shriveled, and the tooling I had done to one piece had come out. One piece I molded while the other I just pressed to keep it flat, by evening they were solid. So I now know how to make cuir bouilli(boiled leather) and need something to make with it.

Oh, I'm also fishing for ideas for a case for my pool cue. Balls would be too expected... Dragon scale or something of the sort might be neat, Something that I might be able to put some color into even...

Hey, I caught your tree of life leatherwork while browsing newer images. After I checked out your gallery, I read in your journal that you've started working in Cuirboli. If you want some hints, I can give you some more info on how I went about keeping the leather from shriveling. Let me know and I'll write out the info for you!
