Judging from your previous examples, "you are a natural" don't hesitate, your inner Artisan will guide you ! Holding the swivel knife is only frightening at first (not hard to master) strive for perpendicular tilted back slightly, using the back corner to cut with ! Your examples look nice ! You'll surely be Okay ! ---- Wild Bill46

Thank You Tinker, I'll keep this address in Connecticut, New York, NOT Ga for future need, (hohoho) I thought as much for the address question, when I asked for info, trying to be humorous. I'll try to keep a check on this thread for further developments. Again Thanx --- Wild Bill46

Absolutely ! Aussie will work. --- Wild Bill46

Nice bag ! and as you all say , the color defanitely stands out ! Been looking for an idea for a range bag, This would fill the bill ! Nicely done --- Wild Bill46

Not beginners luck, for sure ! Those are nice pieces .Stay with it ? And welcome to the best site on the net ! --- Wild Bill46

Artist in the house ! very very nicely done ! ---Wild Bill46

As one and all have come to expect, A snubbyfan special effect. Nice looking loop holster that matches the rig to boot ! ! --- Wild Bill46

Glad you did not stop ! These both look great ! Your way better than I. Don't stop making bags. I think I agree with Tinker about my choice. Both nicely done though ! --- Wild Bill46

Yes they DO look great, in fact " SUPER." They look as if they are all lined, then stitched ? each with its own characteristic beauty ! Well done, work of a craftsman ! --- Wild Bill46

You've done it again, beautiful as always ! --- Wild Bill46

Golden - is the word i'de use tor this project, Its absolutely beautiful in gold ! Wild Bill46

Yeah ! Welcome to the very best site on the net ! Great beginning for a beginner, The fourth picture with the rounded corners looks much more attractive, and your stitching looks attractive too. Don't stop now ! --- Wild Bill46

I'm sorta interested, By that I mean "you say, ROME" several times and you mention a female name "Georgia" Coincidentally - I live not far from ROME, GEORGIA. Where is the ROME you mention ? or is that a company name ? sorta confused --- Wild Bill46

Very Attractive in and of itself. I too like the serpentine border and basketweave tooling together. its very intricate looking, And your GOOD at it. I can certainly understand the nickname saddlebag too. Great project ! ----- Wild Bill46

Very professional looking ! --- Wild Bill46

I think your Bible cover is mostly a well thought out project, But, as others have mentioned, and would tend to agree, the placement of your makers mark is only a minor discrepincy, Other than that, I think its its great too ! --- Wild Bill46

Oh yes, Seams do look perfect, Straight, Smooth, An absolutely fabulous looking wallet. Super work ! --- Wild Bill46

Oops, Too late, I'll 5th for Aussie, Its a great product ! Wild Bill46

I'm sorry --- Not versed in Washington area, or its surroundings. But ! There is a very learned craftsman here on leatherworker.net. and is a very knowledgeable leatherworker. Who's name is Aaron, and goes by the handle, Electrathon lives in Washington, knows about that state and its classes/shows, Aaron might be able to help you ? You made the correct decision to sign up for Leatherworker.net this is the best site anywhere. Most of its members are extremely willing to help , when the can. Relax you done good ! --- Wild Bill46

I like the style, and IMO.your leather application is almost elegantly tooled ! Soon, I just may use your style bag with a red glazed leather, with your permiission ? I want to make into some tote bags ? As I need to use the leather ! Good work ! --- Wild Bill46

Everyone has a prefered method or idea in mind ! My thought was, because I've never had this presented to me before, I thought about, using a hair tool to simulate a woodgrain effect might work for you, Then stain and antique as you would any other project that was tooled ? Hope all turns out as you expect . --- Wild Bill46

Looks like a great start, and a nice color at that ! As long as your happy with it, Its good, because you are the maker ! Still, keep on experimenting with colors on scrap, that might be worthy for you in the future. And Antiqueing is also an alternative you might explore when money isen't as tight ! Airbrush might just turn your head too, --- Wild Bill46

I too thought it looks like two ? one Brown, and one Black. Troubles with baseball stitching or not , The stitching looks very appropriately Achieved ! looks to be finely crafted, Good job ! -------- Wild Bill46

Nice looking Sheath ! ----- Wild Bill46

It'll work out ok enough, Very nice as is , Si it has to work out ! --- Wild Bill46
