Hags Report post Posted December 17, 2021 I've been wanting to do one of these for a while now. After watching Adam's Leather Work video on this about 10 times I finally got my head wrapped around it. This one is for me so the logo is on the front.

AzShooter Report post Posted December 20, 2021 Very nice, clean looking rig. Color is nice and light. What dye did you use?
