It's been a long time since my last post - I had a customer who wanted a neck wallet basically consisting of an inner wallet with two pockets, one hidden pocket in back and a neck strap and a outer cover with a tooled symbol that would slide over the inner wallet along the neck strap to conceal its contents - here are the results

What lovely pictures!

I don't know what you started with for leather, but the background color is really nice. It's got a golden sheen to it in the picture. The tooling is elegant. Personally, I find it a bear to carve circles.

Would you tell me the measurements on the body of this wallet when it is all folded up around the neck?

Thanks,

Thanks Swivelsphinx - The leather was petite tooling calf 2 to 2.5 oz and the golden sheen in the picture is the poor lighting I took the picture in! Sorry not very good pics.

The wallet is black - I used Lincoln Shoe dressing - black leather dye and the tooled design is light brown leather dye in the Lincoln Shoe dressing and I finished everything off with neatsfoot oil. The overall dimensions of the outside sliding cover are 5 1/4 by 8 in. and the strap is 36 in. while the interior wallet is 4 by 7 in.

The tooled ring design actually started out as a coaster set that was precut in a circle from the original leathercrafting kit that I got years ago - I never used them and I though instead of having to cut out a perfect circle - I would just use the coaster - I tool it out and glue it on the front. I agree - it would be hard to carve perfect circles.
