Nothing special about this sharkskin wallet....but wait....check the binding. Two inch sections alternating between grain side and flesh side. KK

Thanks Tom, I'll check yours out right now. We doooo need LW tees! KK

I've had this myspace account for a while and havn't had much desire to do anything with it till now. Let me know what ya'll think. http://www.myspace.com/kevinkingleather KK

Thanks Spider! Great work on the gallary piece by the way! very cool! Warren!! Glad to hear from ya brutha! Thanks for the compliment. Hows your boys wallet holding up? Has if fallen apart yet? KK

Thank you thank you thank you! I'm not quite sure why all the pics got out of wack like they did, maybe Johanna has an idea of how to fix the layout. His is the bi-fold, black elephant, gray cowide overlay with black lizard inlay in the brass knukles. Hers is smooth black cowhide with old school metal flake green vinyl inlay/overlay with black cowide. The 13 overlay is black finished kidskin. Feels good to be back at the machine!!! KK

14 entries! Keep in mind, this also includes those of you who helped me out earlier in the year. Thank You! Ya, I have kicked that idea around and even had a few others suggest doing the tutorial download thing and I may do something like that in the future. What I am going for with this event is to try and pay a little bit of generosity forward to LW. Like you said, with the economy being the way it is, one would think that a free website such as LW that is in no way free to operate is also feeling the crunch. One other way I am thinking about this is kind of like an apprentiship of sorts. While I am not ready to share everything with everyone, I am willing to share what I do know with one individual who will, by the end of the tut, be able to create an absolutly flawless piece of leather art and be able to reatain that knowledge and use it over again. The "prize" here is everything I know, from my design transfer process which is a process I use that requires no marking on the leather what-so-ever and will allow you to transfer almost anything you want to a inlay/overlay design that can not only be used on wallets but many many other aplications all the way down to needle size. I have provided a link on the home page of my website that should make it a little easier to enter. All you do is select how many entries you would like to purchase and click the button. You can get to my website by clicking here or by clicking the link at the bottom of the post. KK

Up to 12 entries. Nobody else interested? Feedback? Suggestions? KK

I just put $10 in the tank and actually moved the needle. Gas is $1.99 here in southwest Missouri, was wondering how much it is in other parts of the country. KK

Thats some leather art right there! Nice. KK

While I am waiting on some leather to arrive, I decided to make some good use of my scrap bin. Whatyall think?

David that is very nice! I have always been impressed with your work. You made a pen?!?!? thats very cool! KK

Ya, i did have to think about how to do a couple things and made a couple of mistakes and had to redo the lining but overall I like it. I buy this lining from Joanns. They didnt have it for a while but my local store just got some in. Thanks for the warm welcome and dont forget to get in on my "big event" KK

Wow! I thought this one was lost in the crash. KK

Had a repeat customer want a plain black wallet, black stitching, black lining, plain snaps. This may be the first one of its kind from me.
