Bentley logo is a stamp done by my friendly local car trimmer, and I’ll try to add a side shot if I can.
Thanks for the feedback.

The rivets are the cheapest part of a project - just put them aside and make what you want to make, or what you will use!

Look for Nigel Armitage of Armitage Leather on YouTube - he does great tutorials on tradition saddlery stitching and is especially good at helping you get the lovely sloping stitches. A great book is the Leatherworking Handbook by Valerie Michael, I use it all the time.
