Randy, that color you've mixed up with the browns is beautiful.

I'm with Mike, you sewed it all backwards :rofl:

For the boning, it'll come the more you do it. It's almost like a catch 22 - to get crisp lines you'll need to use a rounded flat edge, like a butter knife shaped smooth piece of plastic/acrylic/antler/metal etc. But when you're first boning with leather you do your darndest not to scratch it with anything and use rounded smooth tools to work. To get the marks all in the right place, you'll have to go to a finer-edged instrument....like the precision butter knife :)

Here's my shank..err, boning tool. I formed it out of a strip of acrylic
