Superb tooling as usual, really beautiful work

Damn multi quote disappeared? Anyway thanks guys & yeah I agree, colours remind me of sweets & candy, all I want to do is taste it haha! A proper gilry girl assignment that one, glad its boxed off now Jazznow - Its all painted - ecoflo acrylics I think Invasion - Its just stitched, no glue involved

I must admit, not my cup of tea but think it turned out nice, she loves it & thats all that counts really

That is one beautifully made bag, very classy

Nice work BTS, you've been very busy lately, love the belts

Looking good Tim, excellent work

Beautiful work Tanya, lovely bag, I doff my cap

Thanks RIP57, the tool is an E294-03 from craftool, you can get smaller variations of it too for the finer detail work

Thanks Penny, yes all hand stitched, oh how I wish I had a machine sometimes but then again I probably wouldn't get it as neat, I get a feeling I'd probably make more mistakes with a machine Thanks Adam, this was the one I was telling you about probably a month ago or so...I think it came out well & I like the way it looks, so much stitching though!!! Hope your orders are going ok

I think it looks great penny, rightly so you should be proud of it too. I like the 2 tone colour, it works great, well done!

Another nice little order from a local golfer, off the bench yesterday. Carved with they're favourite football (soccer) team emblem & they're initials on the rear. 3 coats of professional oil saddle tan, a little brown antiquing, 3 coats of 50/50 acrylic res & finished with balm & atom wax.

Thanks Tom, I know all about the EVOO & never used laquers on natural veg tan but thanks for the info, my initial thought was to give it a few coats of snowproof as here in Manchester UK we generally get lots of rain & we've only just got rid of the snow. I've not heard of that before but thanks for that Pete, I'll have a google on it later & see if I can get some in UK, much appreciated Thanks Andy, thats a nice compliment from one of my bag maker heroes...I'm gonna schedule my diary for this time next year, hopefully it will look as it does now Cheers vhakra, all i can say is just go for it, your always gonna make mistakes on your 1st one but you always learn from them

Bump.....anybody help with the finish? Just a quickie answer will do, thanks in advance

Great work as always Andy, you never fail to inspire me to make more bags

I like it Tim, I don't often see carvings in black & that looks great!
