2 New Bags
« on: July 25, 2019, 09:44:44 PM »
These are the first two bags I’ve completed using quality leather from other than Tandy and some great tips from Marc.  Both are Burgundy and lined.  Both measure 6 1/2” x 7”.  Both have double welts with a gusset. One has a brass button, patch knife and a hunting knife and sheath attached.  The knives are Russel Green River pioneer series with maple from my last rifle plank.

Mike, you did a great job on those bags.  They're about as fine as any I've seen.

Nice bags Mike!  I like the color of those a lot. You are gonna have to get you a maker’s mark stamp!

I see one glaring problem right off the bat. They are sitting on your deck, instead of mine.

Great job Mike!  Your finish looks smooth and consistent. Nice color too. I especially appreciate your lining that isn’t dye stained. Like chess, you have to think ahead to achieve that. Congratulations on two nice bags. God bless, Marc

There's a few of you coyotes whose bags I enjoy looking at because they have such quality as to give me ideas.  Keep it up.  Nice job.
