Had the day off, so I finally finished the leather trim on a haversack of mine. I also trimmed the inside edge, and added a leather reinforcement piece to the back of the bag between the straps to help it hang better. The trim was goatskin I dyed brown, and then applied some bees wax sealer concoction to it all. Canvas bag and woven strap got walnut hull dyed.
Stitching seems to be slow tedious work for me, but as Mark Baker said on one of his DVDs, “You can’t get in a hurry when your making something 18th Century”. Seems to be true for me!
