New Bag: Walden Ambassador

Recommended Posts

Here's a new bag I'm working on: The Walden Ambassador.

This bag gives the user the option of attaching the shoulder strap to either the gusset dees or the top flap dees.

I really like the four internal pockets on the middle panel.

I used 600 grain sandpaper on the edges. Slicked with a wood slicker and did two coats of LCI/Weaver Edge Paint.

I'm happy having Ivans slicker and motor, but I think I still lean toward the exotic wood slicker. I'd like to make a wood slicker that will fit the 1/8 hp motor.

Thanks for the responce, one more ? for ya. What type of finish do you do on it? Since it is latigo do you jsut give it a coat of oil and call it good or do you try to seal it with something.

The leather you used looks really good.

I used two applications of bag kote and then an application of Aussie wax.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like that would hold up for some time. I try to absorb all this info so if and when I ever get around to trying out my own bag or purse in a similer style Ill have some starting points. Ive got a purse cut out from vegtan just gotta get started on it but I would like to make a laptop case for a friend and would probably go with latigo. However I think that one will wait till I get a sewing machine :surrender:
