Been working on a project for a while now, longer than I would have thought it should take anyways, but I finally got these two hand tooled and stitched leather bags with wildebeest hide inlays finished up.
Where I was starting....
Tooling on the front panel done and stained with antique...
Back panel finished up...
Shot of the front with the hide inlaid...
Completed bags with the liner stitched in. I used a medium weight burgundy cordura for the liner....
Completed backs...
The side panels wrap around underneath the bags and are fully tooled as well. Took a while, but pretty pleased with how they turned out for my first bags. Learned a few things that I might do different next time....
