Seriously? Your leatherwork is awesome! It will take me a little time as well. Also, I will be posting pics of the gift you sent me tomorrow (Saturday). Thanks so much :P I've been far to busy since work started after Christmas (new managers making changes to things and the extra work always falls ...

Nice work the smaller inside pocket is a neat idea
