That saddle looks awesome!

[@meirdeaph]

Looking so good 👍

[@meirdeaph]

Is it better to make holes slanted or just not round?

[@meirdeaph]

The awl he used to make the holes for hand stitching, is there a difference like a round one or diamond shape one?

[@RavensHammer00]

I can tell you that it's easier for me to get a better looking and more uniform stitch line with the diamond awl, versus a round awl.

[@RavensHammer00]

And it's easier to push a properly sharpened diamond awl than a round awl, especially when doing 1/4 inch and thicker projects.

[@jonandicochea8404]

Can the whole saddle be hand stitch. I don't have access to a heavy duty sewing machine

[@meirdeaph]

I was thinking the same thing I don't think my machine is tough enough 🤔

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Sure can! Just adds to the hours you'll spend on it.
