Making a Wood & Leather Cross-Body Satchel Bag

I’m revisiting the wood & leather cross-body satchel purse in this video! Admittedly, the first part of this video is more woodworking than leather craft (and yes; I know my router table is super low-end.) I’ve never worked with Lati before, but it leaves an interesting pattern when laser engraved. The main leather I’m using for this purse is a special hide Tandy Leather used to sell called “Colorida Scale Print Side“. Not sure if it’s still available. I purchased it years ago from their clearance bins. The dragon graphic is from Btw: the Chinese characters engraved on the wood roughly translate to “a rising dragon rides the clouds“. The laser is a Creality Falcon Pro 2 60W. They did not sponsor this video, but below is a promotional link to save my viewers a few bucks on purchasing direct from Creality. Use code “FNPALL10“. The channel gets a (very!) small commission on this:
