The Al and Ann Stohlman Personal Patterns Portfolio Vol. 2 by Peter Main

Volume 2 focuses primarily on horse and cowboy-themed patterns, offering a range of equine poses and figure designs well suited for carving, tooling, and practice work on vegetable-tanned leather. The patterns reflect the traditional Western leathercraft style for which the Stohlmans are best known and are intended to be both practical working templates and historical references.

The portfolio is valued by leatherworkers for its direct connection to the Stohlmans’ original design work and for providing access to patterns that were not widely published elsewhere. It is commonly used for skill development in figure carving as well as for creating finished projects rooted in classic Western leather traditions.

• Leatherworkers interested in traditional Western and equine carving
  
• Students studying figure carving techniques
  
• Collectors of classic Al and Ann Stohlman leathercraft resources
  

This portfolio is best suited for intermediate leatherworkers, though beginners with an interest in figure carving will also find it a valuable reference.
