Hi folks,
since now I have made some knife sheaths and a few little things like a card wallet or a case for my smart-phone. Everything was done using veg tanned leather.
On a trip to the US a short while ago I bought a neck part of oil tanned leather at Tandy´s. My intention is to make a medium size messenger bag out of it.
Planning the project I have realized that oil tanned leather may not be the best for a bag strap but was not able to find conclusive information on the net. Would it stretch too much?
I have also learnt it is not really possible to burnish the edges of oil tanned leather. Should I just leave them alone?
Any thought? Ideas?
Thanks for the effort!
