DR80 Report post Posted August 15, 2015 No stitching yet, because i haven't got my stitching chisels. Maybe it would look better if i had dyed the flesh side too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DR80 Report post Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Very clean cuts. X-Acto knife? Yes. No:11 (Swann-morton) actually, I wanted to have rounded "inner corners" but i have bought a cheap hole punch set, so i can modify the tools.

snubbyfan Report post Posted August 16, 2015 Whether the flesh sides dyed or not's up to your own personal taste. I think it looks pretty good. Personally, I prefer to dye both sides but that's just me. I'm looking forward to seeing it stitched. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DR80 Report post Posted August 16, 2015 I update here with pictures when the stitching is ready. When i get my stitching tools i can finish my watch strap too I just buffed the luggage tag with Sedgewick leather care, i used a white cloth and the cloth got a little colored, normal? What i have done with the leather (did it before i started with the cutting.) 1. Dyed (Fiebings pro oil) 2. Carnauba creme. Thanks everyone for the nice words.

DR80 Report post Posted August 18, 2015 Tried som saddle stitching, not so easy without anything to clamp with. I think my next project is building a Stitching Pony. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
