Bag #28 - plain
« on: April 25, 2020, 09:16:36 PM »
A concurrent project with the last plain bag, this one is an inside-out bag.  Nothing fancy.  All cowhide with a buckskin rolled edge at front top.  God Bless,   Marc

Wish my "plain" bags looked that good!

Nice stuff Marc!

Another fantastic job Marc!

I like the lines along the edges... I always plan to add them to my work and always forget to do it. I don't have a real creaser but my stitching groover came with an extra "nib" that I can use to crease lines... If I could ever remember to do it.

Wow, bangin’ ‘em out two at a time...that’s pretty impressive, Marc!  Another very nicely crafted piece, as well. Please continue.

Great craftsmanship Marc.  I don’t see the plain part.

Great job as always! 

I have a question.   Where did you get your trademark stamp from?   I am using a pretty pathetic stamp I made myself that generally doesn't work so well.

Hi Mark,

Yes, your beautiful craftsmanship deserves a nice stamp. 

My stamp came from John Dobzenski.  His email is:

 leatherstampmaker@gmail.com

I did the artwork, and he made the stamp for me. 

There is a set-up artwork fee, and then the stamp.  It comes with a screw on knurled steel handle and a brass stamp.  High quality stuff that should easily last my lifetime. 

Be aware, his stamps are not inexpensive, but they are of top quality appropriate to the price. 

I hope this helps.   God Bless,   Marc
