Hey, I think the pinked piece in black makes it look more finished, so let's go with that. Thanks for posting the progress to date.

Excellent! I'll cut it today.

I have a few updates, but no new pix (yet).

Everything is out of the dye vat, and it is BLACK! It took about 40 minutes of buffing to remove the excess surface dye from 6 little pieces. If the humidity isn't too terrible today, they will get their secondary oiling and finish.

Lace cutting progresses slowly.

With a spot of luck I should have pictures of preliminary assembly this evening.

Updates;

Sub assembly is well under way, the front cantle is stitched to the bag front and laced.

Please ignore the reddish 'shine', it's an artifact of the flash.

Laces are all cut, the central braid is tied (side ties go on later). The 'D' is finished as is it's retainer.

Today will see the gusset attached to the front face, and I'll start assembling the rear cantle plate and back panel.

I didn't end up posting the updates yesterday, as it's pretty dull staring at a pile of laces being cut
