I've been working on my first tote. Takes a bit of time to gather all supplies and research. I hope to make a bag like yours someday. Hand skiving large pieces holding me back right now. Thank you! Make sure and post pics when you finish yours! Definitely takes some time to get going with leather, but every project will get easier. Keep at it! 5 hours ago, PastorBob said: Nicely done. that is sharp. Thanks! 5 hours ago, Handstitched said: The best gifts are the ones we make ourselves Thats very nicely done. I can't fault that at all . Maybe a matching monogrammed key ring with the same leather perhaps ? HS Thanks! Might be on to something with that key ring, now if I only remember it when the next holiday comes around... 4 hours ago, chuck123wapati said: beautiful work, I'm thinking matching pocket book next. Thank you! Pocket book is a tempting idea too, might have to try both... 32 minutes ago, Heartless said: Very nice! I like the zipper idea. Thank you! The zipper thing just kinda happened, didn't start out with a plan to do that, but started looking at how it was coming together and the idea formed itself Quote

Actually I did try but didn't have much success trying to burnish the edges. I tried gum Trag and it just didn't really seem to do anything when I tried to burnish it. So any advice on that would be greatly appreciated Quote
