I have recently finished this small utility bag/box to store my 2 way radio, flashlights and miscellaneous chargers for small electronic items when I travel. I have already had a chance to field test it and found it to be very convenient.

It is 8-9 oz veg tanned leather. Fiebing's Saddle tan professional oil dye. Ritza 25 (Tiger Thread) 0.8mm in Colonial Tan.

The handle came out darker by accident - I have messed up an original handle that was cut out of the same piece of leather. I had to make another one and put more layers of dye than on the original handle. But I decided to go with it and liked the contrast it gives.

I like it - appeals to my utilitarian, no fuss preference :D

The handle colour works, too.

Cool, I like it a lot. I think the variation in color will even out sooner than you think as the leather ages.

Well done. Nice practical case. Still need to try this.
