Contributing Member Tim Schroeder Posted December 24, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted December 24, 2019 My wife asked for a new Tote Bag for Christmas. She's been carrying the other one for 6 yrs. Lined with Lambskin with veg tan molded pockets. Tooled on 5/6 oz. Herman Oak. Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted December 24, 2019 Members Report Posted December 24, 2019 very nice. What a loving Christmas present to have tooled it. Quote
Members BigSiouxSaddlery Posted December 24, 2019 Members Report Posted December 24, 2019 Nice job on a style of bag that I had a lot of trouble with. Would you mind sharing how you went about making the bottom of the bag? Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted December 24, 2019 Members Report Posted December 24, 2019 Superb work, as always, Tim! Quote
Members Bawarrior Posted December 24, 2019 Members Report Posted December 24, 2019 Nicely done, all of it pattern layout, carving, staining. Beautiful job Quote
Contributing Member Tim Schroeder Posted December 24, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 24, 2019 Thanks for the comments. The bottom is a piece of embossed veg tan. It held up really well on the other bag this one is replacing. She said no feet on the bottom. It is sewn together inside out and then turned right side out. The rest of the embossed leather is some cowhide. Thanks and Merry Christmas to everybody. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted December 24, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted December 24, 2019 That looks very nice But my wife AINT gittin one o those.. she'll just think it's reason to go back to the store and shop AGAIN... and will 'somehow' be "my fault" Humor aside, though, I like it.

Members eglideride Posted December 28, 2019 Members Report Posted December 28, 2019 Beautiful work! (I would like a picture of your tools/ bench seen in the background- I am a tool junkie) Quote
Contributing Member Tim Schroeder Posted December 28, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 28, 2019 This tool rack was not my idea. I used Hidepounders as a starting point. Quote
Members eglideride Posted December 28, 2019 Members Report Posted December 28, 2019 Very cool!! Quote
Members Sofaspud Posted January 3, 2020 Members Report Posted January 3, 2020 Beautiful bag! I like the tool rack too. Not sure if I could function being that well organized. Quote
Members Smartee Posted January 3, 2020 Members Report Posted January 3, 2020 What a beautiful bag! I'm sure she was thrilled! Quote
