BPRD patches.

[madrobot]

I'll be making a few today. I have a few things going on right now. Lot of commission work on custom stuff came in this last week.

I am making 2 bags in the black latigo which will be pretty nice. They'll be a bit smaller than the others. I should have pics posted sometime this week.

I'll be posting the progress on the bags sometime over the weekend. Patches are done. LOTS of failures. The hide I got was like plyboard.

Apparently the hide I got also had a LOT of issues with consistency. So, about one in 5 patches turned out nice. Lots of defects, which kind of sucks.

The bags are shaping up nicely though. Should have pics of both up sometime tomorrow.

T- I got your patches a while ago and I just wanted to say thanks. They are simply exquisite. Thanks again!:thumbsup

I've decided to scrap the entire second run. The cow the leather came from was likely the toughest cow on the planet, as even a 20 ton press couldn't emboss his hide.

I know a couple people, including myself probably had burgers or steaks out of said beast.

Anyway, if I do another run I'll let everyone know. As it stands, this run is a wash.

Speaking of the world's toughest cow...

I went to stitch up a bag made of this ridiculous material, and rather than bend, the crap literally broke. LITERALLY BROKE.
