Hello friends.

This is my recent work.

Staining was done with aniline, I was not satisfied with the result.

I wonder how it is done the correct use for dyeing with aniline.

All suggestions and opinions are welcome.

Thank you very much.

I've never used aniline dyes, so I can't give you any input there. The construction and tooling are both top shelf. Great looking bag that anyone would be proud to own. Did you use a pattern or was it of your own creation? Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Really nice job on the briefcase! Stitching, tooling, everything is very well done. Is it lined? Also curious about what machine you used to sew everything. Looks very good!

Very serious work

A superb piece of carving and construction. Good flow on the pattern and well executed. The edging is very nice indeed. It is a masterpiece and something that anyone would be proud to claim as their own.

The color would, for myself, be superb.  What did you expect to get in the way of color might be a better start to helping you. My understanding of Aniline dyes is that they are more of a large scales method of coloring an entire prepared side of leather. Might you tell me where you are from so that I may have a better idea as to how to help answer your question.

To demonstrate what I am saying,,,,,if you are not satisfied with this briefcase then I would be more than happy to take it off your hands. Just Email me and I will give you my address. I would even be more than happy to for its shipping. I would also promise that it would find a good home with me.

That is some real nice work. Your hand stitching is real nice and the flow of the pattern is just wonderful.

You really have the tooling down. Thanks for posting the pics. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Happy tooling
