beautiful work brother you should be proud, well done I'm sure phillip is proud as well

Very creative brother, keep up the good work

Very Nice work Brother

to get a consistent thickness when skiving you need the same consistency in the material (stiffness) it's easier to skive veg tan leather because it's stiffer and more firm than say a soft goat hide. would it be easier to skive a piece of poster board or a soft sponge, the soft materials will always bunch up on you and cause headaches happy skiving

very nice my friend

get a Cobra class 4 Machine it sews up to 7/8" leather like butter

Resolene from Fiebings

very nice my friend keep it up

the leather is definitely too thick and the large grommets are also making the top of the bag even more stiff, salvage the bag by adding a zippered closure and leave the grommets as a decoration, It's a real nice bag, good luck
