Members plingboot Posted April 15, 2019 Members Report Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Here's a pic of a kudu hide messenger bag I finished recently. Hand stitched and riveted. Kudu is a fantastic material to work with. It's very soft and flexible, but tough as old boots too. Ideal for a messenger bag type design, but not really suitable for more structural brief case projects.

bikermutt07 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Posted April 15, 2019 Great job. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members Riem Posted April 15, 2019 Members Report Posted April 15, 2019 Looks like a very comfortable bag to shoulder! And very durable leather. Even though I'm from the land of the kudu, I've never worked with kudu. I've got a full, tanned, hair on gemsbok hide waiting for me that I've not yet decided what to do with. Maybe something like this, but it will be a challenge to tackle it as a hair on build.
