    Thanks for the comments. I used 7-8 oz. veg tan leather for the main pieces and 4-5 oz. for the gusset, and yes there are three layers in the bottom portion of the bag. I used the 'On-Board Flight Bag' instructions on page 12 in Volume Three of 'The Art of Making Leather Cases' by Al & Ann Stohlman as a guideline for construction methods, and just adjusted the dimensions of everything to suit my needs. The most challenging thing for me was the zipper. This was my first time(and only attempt so far) trying to incorporate a zipper on a project and it was very rough to operate at first. It slides much smoother now that it has had a chance to break in. I used a Chestnut Tan antique stain for the overall color, and coated the inside well with Neat-Lac to account sweat, and water. If I were to do it again, I would probably choose a medium or dark brown for the color.

    Yes I used a piece of stiffener material for each side of the project.

    Sorry for the flood of entries everyone. I am new to this website as of today. I have been tooling leather for 12 years now, and I have even more projects to post, but this is the last one I will post today. I thank everyone for the kind replies.

    No, I wish I did. I found a cool version of this online and duplicated it.

    I saw a version of it in a novelty store called Blue Moon. I sat there and studied it for a while, and decided to attempt it on my own. I liked working with the white deer skin too. Thanks, she did love it.

    This was a mother's day present which has the birthstones for all four of us kids throughout the webbing.

    This was the second leather tooling project that I ever took on. Three months and 90 hours later......

    This is the second holster and gun belt I made. It was time consuming but fun.

    Nicely done. I have the same tool, but I haven't made a sheath for it. Is the fit where you want it to be, or does it still have to break in?
