I like that bag a lot.  What about the leather you used?

The bag was made from 2/3oz. veg-tanned leather, dyed a dark brown then treated with 100% neets-foot oil & bee's wax. I work the leather like a old baseball glove. Hand sewn with waxed linen thread.

Since guns do, can a bag have good architecture? I find this one very pleasing.

Sometimes we look at bags like yours and since we see so many wonderful pieces of work we forget how much time and effort it takes to design, cut out and hand stitch a nice bag.  Yours is a really nice looking bag and I know that you took a lot of hours to complete it.  Congratulations on a job well done.

Very nice bag.  I like the shape of the body and the flap and how they work together. 

I visited your website and thought it was informative and well done.  (The feature on David Rase's powder measures was quite interesting.  I didn't know he was making them.)

Welcome to ALR.
