    Here is a picture of a trial sample of a wallet I made and have been carrying in my back pocket, for about two months.

    notice the distortion on the back side due to the wallet having cards and a few papers in it.

    would anyone have an idea on how to prevent this distortion?

    other than not putting cards and money in the wallet?

    thanks

    I like the original one best,,, as dieselpunk style. The second one doesn’t look dieselpunk as much. IMO.

    Sure the crown on the first one is a bit wonky,,,,but in dieselpunk ,,,, a lot of the style is wonky.

    nice work, just the same!

    For a first wallet I’d say it’s usable. Not a fancy big name quality, but definitely usable. 
    So  here’s some of my observations. I noticed them because I often struggle with them.

    1. your stitching iron is to large for your thread., or viceversa

    2. your leather looks to soft for this style of wallet.

    3.use a punch for round types of holes. ( finger hole) Then cut to connect them.

    4 straight corners will always bend or droop.

    5. Soft leather will stretch every time. And take away from the overall esthetic of the project if not supported with a stiffener.

    not a critique, but a observation,,from a fellow leather destroyer.

    This splitter is in a(pending funds)  sale.

    next in line to purchase is Rossr,

    then JHLeatherwood.

    I will not mail this item until the PayPal account notifies me the funds are available. The total cost including shipped is $317.00

    the buyer safety guarantee of PayPal can reverse your funds if needed. But I cannot reverse the mailed item if I’m not paid.

    I won’t ship the  splitter until the PayPal notifies my that the funds are available. I also won’t withdraw the funds from  PayPal until I ship the splitter and notify the buyer with tracking number and expected delivery date.

    I’m sorry I have to be this way.
    But shipping a $317.00 item out of my pocket to an unknown person is beyond my risk point.

    on bigger items like this splitter I’m not willing to chance ripped off.

    sorry

    Campbell Bosworth leather splitter skiver with a Campbell Randall blade.

    their web site sell these for basically $600.00.

    save yourself some money on this one. I’m selling it for just $350.00 plus shipping cost.
    It is in very good condition mechanically but needs dusting/cleaning and a lite honing on the blade.

    the cutting blade is 8” wide.

    I will ship in/to the USA only. 

    PM me if interested.
