MaverickFZX750 Report post Posted November 1, 2016 Have a good day to everyone! Just completed my shoulder bag for daily carrying. Veg tanned leather 8-9 oz. Brass hardware. This is the bigest carving i've ever made in one project. Antique stain and Balm atom wax as finish. And I planing to use mixture bee wax with oil for conditioning, periodically.

Yeah, walking in the woods is really nice, I love it))) It looks great, and the carving is really nice, however when i made my personal bag with the same side seams, the edges ended up turning out over time and the face and back didn't stay as flat as I like. With the same thickness of leather on the front and side the seam will end up sharing the corner stresses evenly, curling the edges of the front and back. I have found that the two ways to fix this is to use leather that is a grade lighter weight on the sides or skive the edges back on the side pieces to thin them some so they flex instead of the front and back. Just a tip for the next one you make. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DheereCrossing Report post Posted November 25, 2016 Sweet work! I like the color and the size is very well proportioned. The border carving and your logo are very cool and unique. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
