First time making a pocket...


All magnetic closers on the flap and pocket. Drawstring bag in the pocket makes it easy to get organized.
The case hold 2 butts and 4 shafts so it was a big canvas to work on.

Previously I had asked about applying dye on wet, soaking wet or dry leather.
After much experimentation (built the pocket 3 times and the flap twice) I settled on slightly damp leather for the first coat and dry for the second.
I applied the russet dye with a paper towel in a circular 'scrubbing' motion.
The russet stayed light and it has a nice look, pretty even but not 'dipped' even. I thought it went well with the antiquing.

Thanks for looking
