The whole thing looks good to me, from the carving to the braiding...great job.

I agree, they need a little stiffener. I like the shaped ones better than the floppy round ones.

thanks! many of these bags end up strapped to the bottom of the down tubes, angled down. even with 10-12oz leather and a 2-3 oz lining they won't hold thier shape in that position. it's much more solid for sure!

Looks great beeze! I was thinking about some really thin ABS bent in the shape of the bag that way it would hold it's shape and the bottom wouldn't sag.

i thought about abs but concerned about it breaking in the cold. lexan is also a bit more springy. i don't have any concern about the bottom sagging. just trying to keep it from bulging out from hanging down.
