oltoot, the hair-on gusset is chrome tanned cowhide. Down at he bottom of teh bag I use veg tanned leather. Otherwise the hair would wear off from sitting on the ground.

Bob you are right, it's been too long since your last post. I was suffering from withdrawal from seeing some more of your work to study, so I took a trip to Oklahoma City a couple of weeks ago, hoping that along with getting to study the work of John W. and Cary S. I might see some of your work at the C.B. museum or even better yet, run into you at the Team Roping Finals at the fair grounds. There were some Arizona cowboys there, but I didn't see you. Anyway, this bag is as usual, much to take in, and study. Absolutely a joy to look at.

Bob, after all the praise so far I have but this to add.

We all owe you a debt of gratitude for setting and maintaining a standard in leatherwork that we can all aspire to. Not only that, but you generously share your methods.

hidepounder, you are a Prince amongst leatherworkers!

Like a few others here, Bob. Your work is at the same time both inspiring and intimidating

I don't know how to express AWE and ADMIRATION in English adequately,

so I have to Resort to Viennese colloquial German:

"Voosh! Bis ten doo deppert!"

As always your work is Great, hoping to get better by seeing what others do to put the envelope and try the things that seem to be above my skills.

Couldn't say anything that hasn't already been said but can ask-what's the hair?

Looks like a canteen. -_-

Ok for real it's so gorgeous that I'm practically nauseous with jealousy. Every last bit of it shows extreme care and planning with beautifully executed design. I also love the celtic knot blended in. So many people would try that and end up with something awkward, but you managed to make it merge together in a way that few could ever match.

TOP OF THE LINE !

JUST BEAUTIFUL.

I have one question. Was the piece machine sewn ?

If so, what machine did you use ?

Seeing your work is very inspiring.
