That's pretty sharp! I like the layout of the interior. The only comment I would have is to make sure you use a stitch groover to set a nice straight line for your stitches.

I use the Feibings pro oil dyes. they're not oil-based, so not sure why they named them that, but I thin with denatured alchohol. A/R is sold at Tandys, Springfield, etc. It is an acrylic finish that can be used as a resist, and as a finish to provide protection from scratches, water, etc.

Embarrassed to say, I used grooved a stitch line. maybe I needed to go deeper. and I ran over it with a wheel and hammer when done, as per Al's book. I did struggle with a new thread. it broke a couple of times, which was unusual for me, but I will note my likes and dislikes on my next post.

thanx for the info on the dyes, I am going to do something different for the next project.
