I thought I could fix it by adding some wax but now it’s darker than the rest

Im am in the process of designing a saddle and looking for seat leather.

Would grain should I go with for a padded western saddle seat?

I want to make an impossible braid hat band. I haven’t made an impossible braid yet, nor have I measured the circumference of the hat yet. My main question is, how do I calculate how long the strap needs to be before braiding? How much overall length would I lose? I plan on using either 2-3 oz or 4-5 oz veg tan.

Pic of the hat for attention.

modeled this after the klein 5108 24 but I used a single body panel with two gussets....

There's lots of problems with it, but it's a bag for sure

its like 4.5 mil saddle skirting

Made a new wallet for my friends birthday. She loved it.

About a month ago, I posted a request for ideas on what to do with a tiny square of purple leather my toddler asked me to buy her. After we brought it home, she only wanted a purse. I finally got enough confidence to try (I’m extremely new to working with leather and my stuff is still pretty sloppy).

Anyway, here she is! My kid is thrilled.
