cjones Report post Posted April 13, 2015 Made this satchel for a customer who wanted a really plain bag - no pockets or compartments, she didn't even want the interior finished. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonicaJacobson Report post Posted April 15, 2015 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjones Report post Posted April 16, 2015 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.

MonicaJacobson Report post Posted April 16, 2015 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
