Feraud Report post Posted September 23, 2013 I just finished this for my brother. It's the first piece I completed worth sharing. It's made from 5/6 oz. veg tan and dyed with Fiebing's USMC Black. I used mink oil and Resolene to finish. The gussets and straps were saddle stitched. I intentionally left the edges unfinished. That stark raw edge and black had a certain appeal to me on this bag. I owe a lot of you regulars here a big thank you for all the tips on hand-stitching and dyeing. I'm constantly reading and trying new techniques. Here are pics, feel free to add comments on construction, finish, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
