Outline We will use 5/6oz Veg Leather to construct an interlocking hinged top that will cover a small leather box. Alcohol Dyes will be used to colour the veg tan leather: block dye & saturation will be used. The Hinged Box design was created by David Trotter and perfected by David McPherson FCSCL, this iteration is a combination of what I could remember and what I reinvented to for the Hinged Box Project.
