Great job, the choice of leather and colours make it look like they were always there. I am sure your work and research to get it right will mean a lot to your friend.

Indeed, outstanding.  Did you do the basket weave repair also?

All of the leather covering I used to strengthen and repair the gaps. With leather glued and buck stitched through parts of the basket above and below problem areas .  So hopefully it holds up. I did some very casual research into re doing the basket weaves but didn't go that route and I think it wouldnt have been easy at least from my no knowledge of how it's done.   

Thanks for the kind words!
