leatheroo Report post Posted January 15, 2008 Its amazing how long we keep leather stuff we have made. I made this bag 25 years ago and used it as a bag for a while. It just hangs on a door knob now and i keep scarves(scarfs?) in it. I cringe at the way i have attached the handle to the bag part which was knitted in the traditional way with leather lacing.

Hidemechanic Report post Posted January 15, 2008 Call it aborigional(?), no one will know the dif. Looks fine to me for the style. If you had too 'clean' of an attachment it might look more out of place. Frankly it looks like something from the 60s and 70s in our hippy faze of leather and hemp in the U.S. I hear you though about looking back on our early work. We are more experienced now and see how we could have done things differently. You could always do another one for fun and change things to suit you now. I made a lot of 18th and 19th cent. (replica)bags for buckskinners and mt. men, civil war and post civil war cowboy , was able to get away with a lot while learning a better way. Some things were pretty tribal looking but that's what added to the appearance and abiance(?). Fun to reminice, right? GHackett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
