Members 5 Spice Posted February 23, 2015 Members Report Posted February 23, 2015 This is my latest briefcase, designed for a client out east. I custom make all of the handles and large buckles for the bags and belts in my shop. This one is egyptian olive wood and solid brass. The flap is lined with italian wool. Gives it a nice flash when you open it up. Quote
Members venator Posted February 23, 2015 Members Report Posted February 23, 2015 Gorgeous! Do you have an online store? Quote
Members Jon P Posted February 24, 2015 Members Report Posted February 24, 2015 Really like your design. Like how you incorporated the wooden handle with the leather... Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted February 24, 2015 Members Report Posted February 24, 2015 Sweet briefcase! The wood handle is an awesome idea. Quote http://monicajacobson.com/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrimGoTrix?ref=si_shop

Members MonicaJacobson Posted February 24, 2015 Members Report Posted February 24, 2015 If you need other woods, my husband has loads of off-cuts of wenge, mahogany, ziricote, bubinga, or curly maple you can have if you pay shipping.

Hi Monica,That's very kind of you to offer your husband's off-cuts. Does he know, or are you trying to clear some space for him? I've made several custom buckles and handles, but haven't used Ziricote yet. That may be very interesting. Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted February 25, 2015 Members Report Posted February 25, 2015 LOL, believe it or not, it's his idea. I think he might be trying to clear some space. Ziricote is beautiful, but you have to use super glue to finish it, because nothing else will stick. Did you make the handle, attached? It's very, very nice.

Rosewood and solid brass.Sometimes the briefcase is an excuse to incorporate a new piece of hardware. Often times the inspiration for a briefcase comes from the hardware. Originally I made that handle for another case, but it wasn't quite the right fit. The next one's is already in the works, though. PM me. I'd be interested in a piece of the Ziricote. Quote
