Well, it's been a very long project, but it is finally complete.
This is a shotgun case for a family member.
Many "firsts" have been ticked off the list during this project such as:
- By far the largest project
- Installing a zipper
- Using a "soft" pre oiled and dyed leather
- Binding edges
- Making and installing handles + strap D rings
- lining a project with both foam padding and upholstery fabric

Leather clock. All done by hand, stitching, dying, carving/tooling & painting of the numbers and letters etc etc. Lined the back with some of my late nans chrome tanned leather that's probably as old as I am 😊
