How thick/stiff is the leather? Thinking eyelets on the bottom and on the sides might make it even more versatile--leg tie down and option to add a baldaric rig.

Looks like you could piggyback a 9-11 or 7-11 off of two of those straps and/or a 5-4-or 3-11 off one strap if you were making similar set ups. Again, eyelets might help secure in place.

Please don't take any of this as criticism--just thinking out loud <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> You are already lightyears ahead of anything I can do <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
