This was all going so well...

The wet-mold, stitching, shaping and finishing went perfectly. Then I put it on a different support from normal to bake in the beeswax and it went and left a ring mark on the front. It's fairly clear in the photo, everything else about the pouch is spot on.

It is 3mm veg-tan leather and measures about 6x5". It features a band on the inside to hold firesteels or sharpening kit.

£25 posted.

Yes Please Shep, If you hadn't of said I'd have thought the ring was an intentional design ! An addition of character.

Dammit, another trick missed. I might try that 'technique' again then.

Usually about £35. I'm quite self-critical so the price reflects how happy I am with the finished article. I've been known to go up to £45 for ones I really like!

BTW, it's my New Year's resolution (again) not to take advance orders so I'll have to just say look out for the next one. Or I'll let you know if I quit the day job.
