Progress at the end of last night.
Still need to prep all the binding before final assembly of the bag. Then it's handled and the cloth lining

In spite of the shame I feel of our current regime in Washington, our work goes on. A new bag and a new chair are underway, somehow beautiful things must overcome the ugliness, vitriol, and stupidity in the world today.

The chair is done, now to switch
Back to leather goods. I won't be doing any art fairs this year so I'd like to reduce the inventory I have on hand.

Starting with this tote bag in green and natural Italian vegtan.

Back to working on this coffee table
Made the final stretcher, tapered all the stretchers, cut the tenons for the wedges, now a mind numbing amount of sanding. Maybe tomorrow I'll setup my card scraper
