Satchel No.4 - side view

That's nice work. I love good satchels! Is that the natural leather color or a massive dye job?

thanks.

I made it from a Whole Butt Split that was already coloured Red when i bought it.

My wife spotted it whilst we were rummaging through an offcuts pile at a suppliers, and mentioned it would make a nice satchel. A project was born, along with a new direction for my leatherworking, and i managed to get two satchels out of the hide!....now i feel a little addicted to bag making!

Other than beeswaxing the edges, there is no other finish applied.

Gorgeous!

What sewing machine did you use?
