Very nicely made indeed, Luicfer

Thanks! First attempt on something bigger than small cell phone pouches and card holders   got a new shipment of leather today, so I'll try to make a shallower/taller more "satchel"-kind of bag this time around Must say that I love working with leather. The smell, the feel, the ruggedness.. it is great!

[obbigood]

^right.
I can see that it was made with careful planning and effort. have fun with the new leather!

[Lucifer]

Thanks

Quick leather and design related question to you guys:

I'm making a smaller, more satchel-like bag now (no side-pockets, small front-pocket, camera + 1-2 lenses + ipad bag), I was originally planning on just keeping it veg-tanned natural. Any reasons not to? Will it just look weird? Alternative is to dye it burgundy or mahogny.

[injunjack]

Keep it natural. It will darken beautifully.
