WOW! That do shine!   :lt th

I like that little "outside' pouch under the flap.
Don't know for sure, but looks like a nice place to store a small handful of ball.

Anyway you slice it, that is one handsome bag.

It's somewhat obvious that this is not your first endeavor working leather.

Very nice work. I like the serrated edges. Did you use pinking shears? What dyes did you use? I like the color and finish.
