Blucher

Thanks Gents all very useful lateral thinking! All the leather cord i have found seems too small to properly fill a handle. But ill try that 8mm for sure.

Heres my third bag. Feel free to critique the stitching! Im slowly getting more consistent! My question however is what material should i use to fill the handles in order to get a firm yet supple roundness to it? I've tried hemp rope but it can be stiff and the ribs of the plaiting can show through on thinner leathers. I want a perfect tubular shape. Leather cord online never seems to go up to big enough diameters tho maybe im looking in the wrong places - im thinking 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch. Thanks
