                For your first time it doesn't look too bad at all, you've got potential to be the main wooden case maker on TSF...

                    That cue and case was made by Tony Ions.
                    Once you get onto the hardwood cases maybe think about planing the sharp edges off the corners ??

                                Looks good that, how thick was the leather that used as I had trouble stretching mine when I made one?
