Something Old Into Something New - First Briefcase Repost

Recommended Posts

I guess the update on the site deleted all the pictures of the briefcase I posted but left the writing...weird.  I'll post it again and feel free to critique.  Like I said this was my first one and I learned a lot from it but had fun doing it. The inlay is from her father's briefcase that he had made in the 1940's.  It was the back panel and was the only part that was salvageable due to age/dryness/rot.  He was a bull rider so I was glad I could at least save that part.  It is 6-7 oz veg tan lined with latigo (mainly to protect the inlay and give it some rigidity).  The gussets are one piece chocolate colored chap leather. It has Horse Shoe brand buckles, rolled handle, oiled and Tan Kote for a finish.

Really nice work. It's cool using old parts in new pieces.
