  3. Hi Everyone First off thank you all who contribute to this site i have been reading as much as possible to learn and learn i have. I have made two small projects for myself, but now im taking a leap and making my daughter a satchel with a difference and was wondering which leather to use i have only used veg tan leather and done some bad tooling and got some cheap leather to do a dry run for the satchel.. hopefully the pictures turn out ( hard to write and design on a train i can tell you) The satchel is double gusseted, one gusset will have zips either side because inside this compartment will hold chef knives i want the bag to open out for easy access. Will i need to reinforce the bottom of this side too.... So back to the question i have found these leathers which one would be best.. (ps i am in the uk) or send me in the right direction... http://www.uktannery.com/brown-veg-tanned-bridle-leather-hides-34mm-14-sqft-540-p.asp http://www.metropolitanleather.com/Vegetable-Tanned-Leather/Natural-Uncoloured/Natural-Veg-Tan-Craft-Tooling-Shoulder Thank you in advance Sean.
