Project Pattern Pack: Game Animals is a collection of wildlife-themed leathercraft patterns by the late Paul Burnett, featuring a variety of game animal designs adapted across practical leather projects. The pack includes layouts for wallets, belts, rifle slings, coasters, knife pouches, key cases, and belt buckles, combining figure carving with decorative borders and traditional tooling elements.

Designed as both a project pack and study resource, these patterns demonstrate how the same wildlife subjects can be adapted across multiple formats and compositions. Featured animals include whitetail deer, wolves, raccoons, bighorn sheep, and other game-themed subjects integrated into belt layouts, framed panels, and accessory projects. Several pages include completed carving examples and modeling layouts that help illustrate beveling, backgrounding, and texture techniques.

The original oversized 22" × 17" pattern sheets have been reformatted into printable multi-page sections for use on standard home printers. The only modifications made to the original materials were a slight darkening of the images to improve definition and tracing clarity, along with the addition of alignment borders to make assembly easier. The tool references included throughout the pack are based on Midas Leathercraft stamping tools originally sold by The Leather Factory. While collectors and longtime leatherworkers may recognize these tools, most modern users will need to identify contemporary equivalents for their own tooling setups. As with other materials in this archive, these pages are presented as scans of the original self-produced lessons and pattern sheets, so minor imperfections may still be present as part of their original format.


 

These patterns are made available in partnership with the family of the late Paul Burnett. Each purchase financially contributes to his family while helping share his work with a new generation of leatherworkers, ensuring that his teaching and artistic legacy remain accessible.
