I made this one for my step-son for x-mas. The only gift I made. Its sharkskin (seems to be alot of that around here) with carp skin inlay. The shiny black overlay is kidskin as well as the pockets. Lambskin binding and asian brocade lining. Thanks for looking

wow! those are slick now.

"If you ask 10 leatherworkers the right way to do something, you'll get twelve reasonable answers" oh so true

thanks beez, I'm sure your wallets will be great. Cant wait to see em.

Hey Jeff, welcome to the forum. Good to see another Missouri boy here. I am in Joplin, Mo. My family is all from West Plains also. Post some pics of your stuff. KK

I hope you all aren't getting tired of me yet. Sharkskin card wallet, black dragon asian brocade lining, kidskin pockets, lambskin binding, orange contrast stitching. The snap is just an off the shelf tandy piece. I have been debating on using these for a while as I think they look kinda cheapo, but I think it kinda works with this one. No inlays or overlays this time, just stitchin.

Thats some nice tooling. I love the finish. Beez should be proud.

Super Cool Steve! I love your wallets. Very unique shape. You definately have a style of your own. KK

Your right! That is definately a seat. I love it. The letters are very clean, the antiqueing looks great. The colors of wood and leather go great together. All around nice job.

They are very nice. But why does your wife drink out of a trough? :biggrin:

Those things are NICE. What happens when the paper is all gone? Is it refillable?

Thank you all for the nice words. It really means alot to me to hear such a positive response from so many talented folks. Someone on here mentioned my "sewing expertise" but i've gotta say i'm no expert at all. I'm just a very slow stitcher. Most of the time the machine is not even on.

I make two wallets and sew them together.

I use 3M 90 to glue my linings in. Havn't had any issues yet.

I'm going to print that quote and put it up in my shop. Thanks all fr nice words. I actually threw this one on ebay to see what'd happen. So far just a few watchers. The auction ends tomorrow.

Okay, I jazzed this one up a bit. This one is actually for a customer. Daughters initial S. Gator print cowhide, finished kidskin inlay/overlay. I also made a minor adjustment to the shape. I think its getting there. Still have a couple changes in mind.... Thanks for looking

Thats cool!

Here ya go brotha! http://www.leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2312

Laser. Find a trophy shop, most of them have a laser. That'll do the trick KK

cool curb stap!

Looks cool. Whats a curb strap?

No kidding on the custom snaps. I wish i knew how to do lost wax casting, I've got some great ideas for snaps and grommets. I've been doing alot of searching for someone who can help me with the silver, but nothing yet. I'll keep trying till I do.What does "do edge binding primer" mean? Sorry, i'm missin that one.KK Thanks for the kind words.Same leather inside and out. Its some leather I have for some motorcyle chaps to make. I'ts about 2.5 oz.

sorry, i dont have any pics of stitching, but its just a saddle stitch. I cut the leather too short on purpose, then draw them together with the stitch. Like this. This is abag handle on a purse i made.

Wow! Wasnt expecting this kind of response. Thank you all for the compliments. So I guess i'll run with this one then. Stay tuned. KK
