Anybody have any experience with tying old gaida stocks into a new bag? How about any experience with synthetic bags? I found a good article online about how to make Highland pipe bags out of vinyl upholstery faux-naugehyde and am seriously thinking of trying this route instead of the $40 replacement bad from Bulgariana ... Will post pics if project is a success. Meanwhile, how do these stocks go on the bag? Is there any way to season a gaida bag, or does the inside-hair make that impossible? Blagodarja!
