That may be a possibility. Thanks! Gotcha. The genius of the AND...combining ideas for the best. Thanks!

Do you think kydex would be firm enough, if added to the inside, to "unfold" the edge?

Great thought. Just not how sure the owner would be with modifications that could be seen. Another good thought. I looked at that option and can't come up with a good way to keep the bottom edges folded out while drying.

It is along the entire length of the bottom edge.

I have been asked by an older gentleman who is really attached to this bag if I can address the edges. I didn't take a picture of the bag, but found one for demonstration purposes. The entire edge on both sides is rolling inward when the bag is set down on a solid surface. The leather is in good shape, supple, but also very soft. I think over the 40 years it has been used, it has created a memory and will always go back to that position, even when I pull it out. Any ideas on how to fix the bag so the edges don't roll under the bag? Thanks!!

Sorry I didn't see this earlier! I like how you overlaid the cross with flowers. That's a cool design.

Nice piece of work! I like the non-shiny finish.

That turned out nice! clean edges and good stitching.

I do like inlays. Something to try is skive down the edge (from the inside) around the inlay, so there is less of a lip.

I use Satin Sheen by itself or Super Sheen then knock it down with sheep's wool instead of steel wool. Seems to work well.

+1 on rotary cutter, but scissors work well too.

I wanna thank @Dwight for recently sharing some of the knife sheaths he built. He inspired this design for some fixed blade knife sheath I made for a local knife maker. Welt on all edges. I also engraved the sheaths, as well as one of the blades and handles. I used my laser to create the template out of 1/8" acrylic. If you are interested in a template let me know.

Welcome from SW Missouri! As mentioned...lots of good stuff here.

Great job! that looks fantastic. I also like the patterns going over the edge. Makes it look like it is sitting on top of the belt.

Thanks for sharing! I have a pile on my table as well from a client who makes handmade knives. i really like the sheath design on the left. I think you have inspired me to try that design. Thanks.

Definitely use a hole punch if you can get one relatively inexpensively. I think you'll be forever trying to cut it with your laser and then you have the cleanup of the edges afterwards.

Great work!!

good looking band. That turned out real nice.

Wow! very professional looking.

Let me know if you are still needing patterns. I have several styles of acrylic templates available. If interested, just shoot me a PM.

Welcome to the forum from SW Missouri, USA. I am not really sure to what you are referring. Please expand your question.

Sharp bracelet. Really like the inlay. Thanks - re patterns. It has really blown up. Seems like between the stamps and templates more of my time is spent on them than on actual leather projects.

Welcome from SW Missouri, USA. Glad you were able to join us to share some of your work and show off those patterns.
