The back in progress. I have used a thinner hide for the back so it is more flexible, as the front is quite rigid. I also am edging the top and bottom with goat leather instead of the hide. The flaps from the yoke will be secured above the starburst / lion panel. The hide looks a bit dirty, but it will bleach to a nice cream with the oil wax mixture, as the front did. I took advantage natural creases in the hide so that the back panel will stay fairly flush against the upper back.
