New Bag
« on: September 27, 2022, 04:59:58 AM »
Life has had me doing everything but leather work for most of this year but I have managed to squeeze out a couple of bags. This was a custom request for a regular customer who has been waiting quite a long time.
It's a rather large hunting bag that is my version of an old original. I made the stamp for the designs on the bag and it was based on the original bag's decoration.  The rings I handmade and the bag sports a die forged iron buckle as well. The main flap has an intregral pocket as part of it's construction.  There is a gusseted pocket on the front of the main body that is held closed with two leather buttons.  The main body of the bag has a generous gusset and is held closed with leather buttons as well.

Wow, this is perfection. Stitches, metal work, even the leather itself which takes the fine detail of the beautifully designed stamp.  Well done!

Excellent James!  An awful lot of 'details' in your construction to admire and appreciate.

I agree with everyone else, great workmanship. This bag has a " Gentlemans Bag " look to it. Thanks for sharing.  :)

Well Done!
I am curious about the leather that you used? Is it available from a leather vendor?
Thanks,
