i was commissioned by a members bb to make him a leather gift for his anniversary, we bounced some ideas about and settled on this.
this was made with premium 4 mill veg tan, and saddle stitched with needle and awl with tiger thread.
he wanted me to incorporate some jigsaw pieces in this, now any body who has cut 4 mill veg tan, will no how hard it is with not so tight curves, this was most the challenging thing i have cut of leather to date, as one wrong slip, and i would have gone into the rest of the piece, also being jigsaw pieces i wanted this to fit like a jigsaw, what i have done is popped a eyelet in each piece, so that they can carry each piece of the puzzle at all times on there keys.
hope you like it.

he wanted this in a nice dark brown, and to have white stitching.
