pepin1948 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 One of my adult students told her dad she's been doing leatherwork now, and of course he said "so you'll make me a wallet for Father's Day, right?" (LOL!) She's an excellent carver, but is the WORST at stamping that I have ever seen. In fact, I can honestly say I've never seen anyone who couldn't make some sort of impression with a stamp before this woman! So I can't direct her to a nice basketweave. But a good floral/"leafy" design would be nice. Suggestions? Oh, and she can tool, she just can't stamp...God knows why! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can draw her a simple sheridan if she wants.. what are the dimensions for the wallet? Clay M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pepin1948 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 That'd be TERRIFIC She wouldn't know what to ask for, but the patterns for billfolds that I've noticed so far are a little too flowery (i.e. with roses) for what I personally would give a guy. The wallet back is 10-1/2 by 4-1/2". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clay Report post Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) Holly, Here are a couple of patterns that I came up with. The second one is not inked and could use a little touch up. Let me know if this is what you had in mind. Clay M. also let me know if I need to email them direct to you... Edited May 30, 2007 by Clay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
