Suggestions for construction of a tank bag.

[biknut]

I know there's a lot of skilled and creative individuals on this forum, so I'm asking you for advise. What I'm interested in is hearing ideas on how to procede with the construction of a tank bag for my bike, which will have to be made from scratch. So far all I have is a rough outline of the design. Leather is my desired material. I have no experience in this type of construction. I was thinking maybe a wooden frame of some sort that would hold the shape, that I could take to an upholsterer to cover in leather.

If you have experience with this type of project, or a better idea, how would you go about it?

The black area on top of the frame is the shape I want.

I would get the leather and bring it to an upholstery shop
