Thank you.

This is after slicking and dying the rest of the edges...

 

I'm currently working on the shoulder strap... 2 layers of 6/7 veg tan cemented together, with a little detail cut end to fancy it up some... Pics to come soon.

That looks great!

Shoulder strap, nothing super fancy.

 

It's pretty much finished, except the hardware. Which consists of grommets and clasps to attach the shoulder strap, and a buckle for the closure strap. Also getting a rivet domer to gussy up the copper rivets a little.

Finally received the hardware!!! Just finished it.

And the inside...

Thank you. This one is going to be a little hard for me to put into a box and ship... It just turned out so nice. I could look at the tooling for hours.

I can imagine. All that hard work and the beautiful results.

It is heirloom quality.

I wondered how you were doing the strap.

Nice work, I enjoyed the follow along.

Maybe the money will make it easier to box it up!
