DIY Leather & Walnut Handbag Purse // Leatherwork & Woodworking Project

Leather AND Walnut! Combination of my two favorite materials all wrapped up in a new every-day-carry handbag.
This project can easily be accommodated to basic woodworking and leather working tools which makes it a great beginner project.
The walnut wood is from a downed tree on the family farm that we cut up last fall. It’s a great feeling to be able to incorporate parts of the farm in my every day life even though I live hours away.
The leather, hardware and most of the leather work tools for this project were purchased from Springfield Leather Company in Springfield, Missouri. They have a wide selection of leatherworking goods as well as great customer support. Find them online at www.springfieldleather.com
Here’s a few leather workers who have great videos and resources on KZbin and Instagram:

Beautiful bag. Is it a special screw that you used to attach the strap tabs to the wood piece?

[@TwistedTwineWoodworking]

Button head screws from Lowe’s was what I used. Nothing special…button head held it all together from the top and the color was what I thought looked good.

Your bag looks fabulous and I'm sure a ton of work. Your nails look fabulous and I'm sure a ton of work. No really, that was cool!

[@TwistedTwineWoodworking]

The nails were definitely a lot easier LOL. Thanks for your support!!

[@unclejohn1053]

Cool that you do leather work too. I suppose you'll be taking up forging next?
