Only thing wrong with those bags is they ain't hanging with my personal stuff. :thumbsup:

Ditto that rifleman

P.C., you are a very skilled craftsman. Each of those bags is creatively conceived and beautifully executed. I think the badger is my favorite, but I really love the hand-forged buckle on No. 3.

:hatsoff:

I like #1 and #3...but they all really look good!
You for sure have talent!

The creativity is great, its really nice not to see the same thing over and over.

I got to say I like all three of them, they are all different in style and looks, making all three very unique pieces! :thumbsup:

 

[Little Wattsy]

I REALLY like #1!!
#3 looks nice too...
#2 looks like it was made from a Sasquatch butt... :wink:

Wattsy,
I especially like your interpretation of the origin of 2 bags :grin:

I like your bags a lot! What does the star figure represent? Is it just a personal decoration? I have a personal attraction to a Tulip Poplar leaf design,I've used it on some of my own stuff. Just curious,keep doing what you're doing.
