Elton,

That is one FINE looking case, really like the latch and filigree work!

What is the width of the gussets?

Elton,

Very cool use of the hide. Are the gussets hide too? The whole thing is outstanding. Great work amigo. I like your Stamey line also. "Don't forget to stay loose".

Thanks Bruce. The gussets are burgundy bullhide which just happened to match the burgundy lining PERFECTLY!! I would have used hair on but I can't stand looking at my work a while down the road just to see that it has SHED OUT!!

Remember, decapitation is preferrable to a buck off!!

I know what you mean about the shedding. A few of the belts I've inlayed and plugged look like mulehide under the seat belt zone.

I hear you about the buck-off - That could be embarassing. You know pard, I bet they could sew that ear back on......

Beautiful piece. I have a question. Did you line it with something to protect your laptop? If so what?

Thanks :)
