Ray, My thought for the sachel is a long, adjustable strap. The user could carry it from the shoulder on same side as the sachel or the strap could go over the neck. The strap could be adjustable to a shorter length and used as a handle as well. See how easy that is for me to say, when you have to do all the work. Now, I'm worn out from thinking, nap time. Bless you my amigo

This is my 1st entry in this forum, hopes it works. Have done some hand carved Harley Banners (just what I call them) intended to be used free-lance and or to be attached to saddle bags or garments. The "Rt. 66," and Harley banners are 1 1/2" x 8 3/4" . The original idea was to make leather bracelets which led to a more versatile idea, let the user do as he/she pleases. They are hand carved using veggie tan leather and I consider them proto-types. .

That Eagle Sachel is very, impressive! I see your still working it. You have all the right tools and Ray, you are made of the right stuff. I can tell your blessings are many and most of all, you haven't forgottent nor taken any for granted.

Hey Ray, As soon as I received your message I came right over. Finally, Ray's Shoe Throne, very nice. This is quiet way of letting us know that you learned to do leather work from the ground up, ha, ha. Those shoes all look brand new except I know for a fact, new shoes don't come with a bright spit shine. I joined the Marine corps in 1965 and I was just getting the hang of doing a good spit shine in boot camp when they sent me South, yea, the other South. I can't imagine the stories and stock market tips and so forth that have come down from your leathery throne and I'm sure, some you will never reveal. As for selling items in your shop, I think you need to start off with an Auction Barn, you gots lots of stuff. Thanks for the Throne pic amigo and the others.

Sharp design work and that is some good looking, heavy leather. I know it takes time for this and it shows. Heck, I even like the background wood.

Very nice. If I were in the market, its something I'd purchase, good detail carving IMO.

This entire listing is a very good read and thanks for the Min wax Polycrylic tip. That holster rig not only has a nice look, I can see practicality all over, good leather should be put to good use. One process I use for some controled but fast drying is a Hair-Dryer. Thanks.

I realize we are drifting away somewhat from the How to get rid of the Fuzzies as the focal point, but I have this last comment regarding a leather source; Yes, postage is always a consideration and we all know postage as well as the price of materials change like the weather. I don't care much for shopping as shopping as goes, but we can learn a lot by looking around. My wallet is under my personal protection. Here is some contact information for Springfield Leather in Missouri. http://springfieldleather.com & email is ed@springfieldleather.com I'm not advertising for anyone, just posting this for you use. I'm sure we have this listing somewhere, but I know the above is current.

Have you ever considered ward robe design, you can naviagte from there. There are potential contacts on the net, not pushing here, just mentioning it. Seems you would have had some contacts in the film industry because you work is excellent from what I can see. A modern day Knights of the round Table sort of thing and on & on..

This is where I ended afther looking for Herman Oak leather...; http://www.oregonleatherco.com/
