Absolutely FIRST RATE work BearMan! As a retired cabinet maker, I commend you on your excellent woodworking skills. As a neophyte leather worker, you give me inspiration. Thanks for the photos.
Thank you VERY much for posting this! Ive been attempting to do this for a couple of days now and it just wasn't coming out as I wanted. You've saved another newbie from hours of frustration. (My wife thanks you also)
