    This is my first try at these. Number 1 took a while, the others were quicker. They are super soft. The light coloured ones are from a piece of (pig?) leather from an antique store many years ago. It looked rather plain, so I burnished it a bit. Gives it that worn look. The dark leather is a piece left over from a bag that I made last year. Nicest leather I’ve worked with. This side of leather was bought new. Two are 20 mm, two are 18s. 6D1DC7FB-35F9-43BA-A186-BDBC9768A13E.jpeg A9705097-94F7-485B-958E-DBC8FFFF0726.jpeg 584F28A3-20C1-4219-9A61-A7AE87CBE8DF.jpeg 8C3C8960-6276-4DA6-9391-149827461526.jpeg 55C1D9B5-303A-454B-8FA9-D05AA9ADA0A5.jpeg B0534634-4FEE-437A-9CDC-CE751A71F3D3.jpeg

    I am disappointed that only a few people have received their straps. Sent them the cheapest way from Canada. The latest batch are going as parcels instead of letters. I hope that will be quicker.

    My last project before returning to work. A bicycle bag (inspired by Brooks).

    Attached is a pic of the last straps, ready to ship, and the bag, my first. EF211D71-E05A-47E3-9EBA-B5FBA33CEA7D.jpeg

    The Brooks saddle is also impressive. I had one on a Raleigh Grand Prix back in the 1980's that was stolen with my bike. I was more upset about losing the saddle than I was about the he rest of the bike.

    I’m sorry. I think I gave you my office address. Haven’t been into the office in a couple of weeks since someone came down with COVID and we all had to re-quarantine for 2 additional weeks.

    I should be popping in next week. I suspect that it will be there.
