After working it, I rubbed some saddle oil into the leather part...once it really soaks in, I might take it back to the stool and work it some more, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, somewhere along the way in the next two weeks, I need to trim it and actually make the bag. I know exactly how I want it to lay out. I'll probably end up making Savannah stand at my elbow for moral support. :D
I worked on my coon hide today. I took the pillow off the footstool and used the metal frame to work the hide over. I didn't get it near as pliable as I could have; partially because my hands and arms were getting a little tired and partially because I'd actually rather have my bag, which I'm going to make from the hide, a little stiffer than not.

The Middle KidI chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child' Archives
