Very Boring Satchel

[cjones]

Made this satchel for a customer who wanted a really plain bag - no pockets or compartments, she didn't even want the interior finished.

LOL, I think it looks nice. You don't have to sound so disappointed with it.

Thanks. I am a big fan of your work,

It looks good to me. Sometimes simple is best!

That begs the question - if you think that's boring, what do you want to make? Are you a western style carving enthusiast, biker style art, or something else?

Next major project will be a messenger bag lined with pigskin with internal dividers.

I'm very much a novice, still practising with carving and construction techniques. Oddly enough I prefer a simple utilitarian style without a whole lot of embellishment. I like the look of the antique US mail bags and I admired the style of the Swiss army bag you made and the "small bag in cherry cavalier".

Thanks for your interest.

I think you'll find the tastes on here pretty evenly divided. There are a lot of people who are excited about clean styles. I go both ways. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
