The carving and detail on the back is beautiful!

Only thing is that the stitching and edging really lets it down, getting the tension of each stitch even and the angle of the holes even makes all the difference (which is why i use a stitching fork tool now.)

sometimes leaving a project unedged or opting for lacing instead can make all the difference, but lacing needs the same attention to tension and spacing, looking at how the lace or thread "bites" into the leather and causes fine wrinkling is the key to good stitches if your holes are good (at least in the finer weight leathers.)

Good luck with whatever you choose to do!

I recently purchased a sewing machine and have not yet got the knack of it, do great on thick stuff but thin stuff I cant seem to get the tension correct.
