That is impressive basket weave. What is the stamp you used. May I ask how you maintain your alignment?

Nice work. Love the tooled feathers. Nice change from what I normally see.

I do duffle bags, each one has a side pocketsimilar to yours and a center zipper. I was a little intimidated until my first one. Then I realized how easy it is when using a machine. Trust me, the other operations on your bag are more complicated.

I really like the bag. Clean looking with nice stitching. If there is one thing I would look at is the outside pocket. Maybe put a zipper for the opening about an inch down. Brass of course. Also maybe fold the top over to address that raw edge. Might look good if you skived it down a bit. Just my opinion

Really nice work. How did you mold it?

Good job,I like it. I started drilling my stitching holes and now use an .8 mm punch chucked in my drill press. I like the results. Makes for much more enjoyable stitching and cleaner looking results.

Thats awesome work. I really like how you get your stitch line so close to the edge. Do you stitch that close or do you sand it down?

I think it looks awesome and he should be happy.

Nice hats What type and power laser are you using?

Rocky, That is one nice looking bag. I have looked at these in the past and it appears that the type the op posted are nailed with any stitching as decorative or have the edges rolled and stitched. Either way I don't think the stitching Penetrates the wood.

That is a beautiful design and some excellent craftsmanship. Love the work on the sunflower. Do you ever have any trouble with the rivets on the handle holding up over time? What weight is the leather?
