Good looking bags..

I love the horn !!!!!!

[RoaringBull]

AWESOME stuff!!!!


Gotta ask, do you cut out the hearts and stuff and sew the material between two layers of leather (on the flaps), or just leave it exposed on the inside of the flap?  Also, the finished edges, is that just a strip of leather sewn along th eedges, or another material?  Finally, do you line your bags?  Also, do I ask too many questions?

[Mr Woodchuck]

yupp mee buddy Tom do some dandy work...

[tom-h]

bull i do place my cut-outs between two layers and the strip around the flap is an edge binding i dont use one on all bags just when i think it needs one and--- lining  depends on the thickness of the leather if it is good  4-5oz i hardly ever line it  just dont see how it would help but if it is thin i use a lining --pillow tick -linen or what i have as long as it is a natural material.any questions you may have please ask that what we are here for i would be glad to help as would andy and im sure there many leather workers here that would be glad to  help and you can never ask to many questions,
