This is the fourth backpack, the first one I kept since I needed to test the design (and because all the mistakes leap out at me) ;)

The top flap kinda limits how full you can go.  1st, 2nd and 3rd pics attached.

Since I'm getting so much feedback here, what price would you put on one of these?  I struggle with that, just as pretty much everyone does...

 

With the amount of tooling you put into this I think it should sell for at least $600-700

1st gotta say I love your work!

As to pricing I'd agree with the 6 to 700 range as a minimum. That bag in the right place I could see going for a grand.

I agree with garypl and kiwican...nothing less than upper-3-figures for attracting the right clientele to appreciate the heirloom quality of your work and the time you put into it. Don't let the shallowness of some folks' pockets or the tension of their purse strings determine the value of your craft...for them, there's always Wal-mart.

Have a great day!

Hi Bobby. If I understand your question... the deerskin bag is a 32" diameter circle.  Previous iterations have been two half circles depending on the hide. I either turn the edge over or add a contrasting strip to finish the edge. I then punch the holes for gathering the top, lay it on the tooled center, glue, then sew.  Best situation is an oval so the pouch can expand side to side and not just front to back (learned that the hard way).
