Some of you may recall I celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19). I force the people I work with to participate and use it to collect money and items for a no kill animal shelter. I usually make a leather item to raffle off. This year's offering is this, a more vertical messenger bag. Wood (not really seen well, need some better pictures) is 100+ year old white oak that we recovered from a library redecorating, shelves were put in the room in 1922. I grabbed a half dozen boards and came back for more to find others had a similar idea to save it from the trash. inner pocket fits the laptops we were issued at work.
