pete Report post Posted March 19, 2012 WOW! I really like it! VERY nice for a first try. The only thing that I would have done would have been to run a groover for the sewing(nice job, by the way) to sit in so as not to pucker the leather around it. Love the color,single rivet,stamp look. Maybe a defined edge so that the basketweave stands out better. Where did you get the buckle set?????? Beautiful.. pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
