Members braider Posted July 16, 2007 Members Report Posted July 16, 2007 Here'a a braided leather bag, that I finished not so long ago, that I like. It's built with moccasin cowhide and measures about 20" x 12" x 6". Quote Anderson Leather Braiding http://andersonleather.com/
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted July 16, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted July 16, 2007 braider, Very, Very nice work. I really like the color and the lacing, it makes the bag look like a million dollar bag. Ken Quote Beaverslayer Custom Leather<br />Wearable Works of Art https://www.facebook...erCustomLeather
Members Prince Posted July 16, 2007 Members Report Posted July 16, 2007 Looks great, nearly too perfect. Looks difficult... just how time consuming -is- lacing like that? I wonder if should try incorporating some designs like lacing into my armor stuffs. Quote Elaborate Custom Armor, Weapons, And Leather Items at PrinceArmory.com | My DeviantArt Gallery | Facebook |
Ambassador abn Posted July 16, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted July 16, 2007 That's the finest bag I've seen in a long time. Congratulations, David. I also visited your site and read that everything you do is by hand -- no power tools or electricity required. Any inspiration for that? -Alex Quote
Members mulefool Posted July 17, 2007 Members Report Posted July 17, 2007 Really classy looking bag. I like everything about it. Quote www.horseandmulegear.com

Members SmilinJim Posted July 18, 2007 Members Report Posted July 18, 2007 That is great. And your site is too. Show us some more of your lacing. You should teach. Keep on Smilin Jim Quote

Moderator Johanna Posted July 18, 2007 Moderator Report Posted July 18, 2007 I've been a fan of Dave's work for a long time, and every now and then, just to tease him, I threaten to come to his shop and take pictures and make him talk. For more pics of his designs and braids, be sure to visit his website. Thanks for sharing (and checking in!) Dave! I've been wondering how you are, and hope all is well!

Members braider Posted September 14, 2007 Author Members Report Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) Here's a new bag style I recently came up. This braided leather shoulder bag is 100% leather. It has no hardware, lining, zippers, etc. - not even any thread. And, of course, it's truely hand made - no electric was used to build it.

Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted September 14, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted September 14, 2007 Beautiful work. I love the braided shoulder strap on the second one you posted. I truly wish I could learn to braid like that. What do you sell a purse like that for?

Mike Craw Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Wow, that is great looking work! I really like the braiding. It gives the work a signature style that I've never seen before. Can that style of lacing, using lighter weight lace, be used on projects like purses? I also went to your site. It's all outstanding work, Dave!

Members braider Posted September 19, 2007 Author Members Report Posted September 19, 2007 I call that handbag one of my 'double flap' bags. I've built them in several sizes and on different types of bags. This one has no gusset and is pleated on the bottom of it. I get near $200 for it. Yes, a person could use lighter weight lace to build bags with. There is another topic in this 'Braiding' section that I started that has more pictures of my work in it. It's title is 'Greetings from a leather braider'. Here is a link to it: http://www.leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5 Thanks for the compliments, ...Dave Quote Anderson Leather Braiding http://andersonleather.com/
