BigMatt Report post Posted May 11, 2015 Well, it is finally finished! The black belting leather briefcase I started 3 weeks ago. I used a glazed black double butt meant for belts and Maine .030 black thread. The clasp is from Abbey England and everything else is from my local supplier.

JAZZMAN Report post Posted May 11, 2015 Hi Bigmatt, that is absolutely fantastic, is it for yourself or a customer, unless your into leathercraft i do not think a lot of people realize how much work something like this takes,it truly is a work of art. I am also very jealous of your stitching pony.Take care. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigMatt Report post Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks, it was originally for a customer, but he backed out, so I guess it is for me. I have come to really like it though. I was partial to tan briefcases, but this has really grown on me in the last few weeks. It was a lot of work. I learned a lot and I am pretty sure I could knock another one out in 20-30 hours.

BigMatt Report post Posted May 11, 2015 Update: I have a potential buyer for it. Since I posted it on my blog, someone contacted me about it and I think it is sold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonicaJacobson Report post Posted May 13, 2015 Beautiful bag, Matt! Yeah, I was going to say, just because one customer backs out doesn't mean there aren't lots who would love that bag. Congrats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
