Free Leathercraft Pattern for Figure Carving Turtles

About This Pattern

With this pattern, Jim Linnell focuses on creating realistic turtles and tortoises, introducing new details such as shells, scales, wrinkles, and reptilian features. They are interesting, and even mystic creatures, that are a blast to carve in leather.

Jim Linnell is a Stohlman Award winning leatherworking instructor who has dedicated his life to the advancement of the art form and the preservation of its history.

This pattern was originally created to be used with the video workshop Figure Carving Turtles and Tortoises. We’d love to see what you make from it in our online Facebook group Elktracks Studio Creations.
