Here's where I'm @. The first pic is laid out with the end stitched and the edges rolled together for support. If you look closely at the picture you can see the 2 white fiberglass rods that go down the middle for support. They are what the leather thongs are tied to on the end, they are inside the rolled edges on each side of the opening.
Next pic is of the wooden endcap that's in the garage with the cover piece of hide waiting for the glue to dry.
Finally is a profile partially stitched and waiting for the endcap to be sewed on so I can dye the whole thing at once.
Youre probably thinking there's something missing and that would be the strap. A very generous LADY, and talented artist, you all know as Shell has contacted me and offered to give me a strap for it so I'll hold any more pics until I get it completely finished.
