  1. Well , it does take dye BUT i prefer to dye them using either acrylic dyes or the new fiebing Dura edge . If i use acrylic then i have to apply a different finishing process to smooth it and to protect it from rain . The Dura is less demanding and offers a better result but it hasn't a lot of colors to choose from . Overall , to burnish them i use these french heat burnishers instead of my cocobolo dremel burnishers : http://www.vergez-blanchard.fr/boutique/fiche_produit.cfm?ref=3_995_G&type=40&code_lg=lg_fr&num=2 Somehow it gives me a better result . Olivier .
  2. Thanks everyone for your compliments . Hi Monica , Why did you think you shouldn't dye the edges ? Thanks, Olivier
  3. Very zen-like... something I struggle with. My work-space is chaos. Don't worry Grumpy , mine is a mess most of the time too . Especially when i'm having ( actually try to ) a new design on my mind . It took me a whole day to clean it up before the shootings began . Thanks, Olivier
  4. Hi Tannin , No , it only looks like but it's a simple soft plastic board . I bought it in a shop selling professional cooking items . Don't worry you're not the first one that asks . Thanks, Olivier
  5. Me at work . The make-of the Red No.376 in the O-Line And the make-of the No.376 in the Companion Line I enjoyed myself quite a lot during these two days of filming . Hope you'll like it . Thanks, Olivier
  6. It's a briefcase i've made for a client last week and i've just dropped it in the post office after taking the pictures . Thanks , Olivier
  7. Thanks Monica . Yes it's an extra layer at the bottom for keeping the groceries laying at the bottom of the bag intact . Also , it gives more stability when you'll lay it on the ground . I've chosen to close the bag with a magnet for easier acces to it . And because the straps are keeping it closed when holded , it's still safe from any attempt to steal the content . Thanks , Olivier
  8. This one i've done for my wife when she goes to the market so , yes it's big but not heavy . I've lined it with brown calf skin . Thanks , Olivier
  9. Yes i know . Actually they are burnished but not finished . A client asked me to make one in Tan . When it'll be done i'll post some pictures with those edges well finished as it should . Thanks Tom , Olivier
  10. Well you are a good sister Just in case my birthday is on the first of march Great looking bag. Olivier
  11. Thanks all for your comments . Yes , i should have burnished the edges as it would have looked better . And thanks Jonathan for the idea of wetting the edges of the gussets . I'll definitely try it next time . Thanks , Olivier
  12. This time it was for a client who takes a lot of stuff with him at work . So this bag is quite big and has a back pocket too . Thanks, Olivier
