    Nice work.

    That looks nice. I've used some Horween horse shoulders, chromexcel, Essex and some Orion. Good stuff. Those curved corners are hard to crease, huh? I need that smaller round tip for that.

    Nice work D. You've got a style all your own!

    Here is a properly painted edge. This is my work. I used Fenice from Italy purchased at Tandy under their brand name Professional Leather Edge Paint . The leather is Horween Horse shoulder. The edges must be glued flush. Paint, let dry, lightly sand. Repeat using a higher grit sandpaper, repeat, repeat, repeat all the way to 1500 grit. Polish with paraffin wax.

    Do you have a website? Facebook? Instagram? What kind/style of leather work?

    I've been waiting since Dec 8 for a skiving knife from Knip. I checked in with him 2-3 weeks ago and he said he was just getting back in the shop after an injury.

    Where the blue and orange leathers meet is dyed blue and burnished. He's a fine craftsman.

    I posted the link to his Instagram account. Here it is again: https://www.instagram.com/zj.handwork/ He's got all kinds of edge photographs - burnished, folded and some painted. Lots of photographs of his pricking irons too. You can find the prices for his tools and wallets on his website. http://purelyhandwork.ayh688.com/

    I bought the CS Osbourne zipper pliers and they're great for the top individual stoppers.

    Nice work. Is that a Riri #4? What did you crimp your bottom stopper with? I've tried several different types of pliers and nothing works really well.

    ZJ hand stitches. He even sells pricking irons. https://www.instagram.com/zj.handwork/ A lot of the Asian leathercrafters use dye, lots of sanding to very high grits and CMC, tokonole or wax to finish their edges. They paint some too.

    Sunflowers look great. I'd love to do a collaboration.

    Thanks for sharing this. I am definitely interested in this if @Uwe (or someone in the US) is going to make them. Can one be made for a Riri #6 & #4?
  18. thefanninator
    Thank you. Well thank you very much.
  19. thefanninator
    Thanks everyone.
  20. thefanninator
    Thank you.

    Thanks. This piece is soft, I have another piece that's a little rougher and has a little more stiffness to it.

    Just finishing up this Elephant billfold. I purchased the elephant from a guy who was closing up his shop. Great color and texture. The interior is fully lined with black French goat, hand stitched with .45mm Golden Ochre Amy Roke linen thread, edges are creased and painted with Fenice.
  23. thefanninator
    I use Fenice from Tandy and at least 1 bottle is over three years old and it's still good.
  24. thefanninator
    Haven't posted any work in a while. I finished this up a week or two ago. Red lizard with black French goat. The pockets were split to .5mm and folded over to make fully lined pockets. Hand stitched and painted edges.

    He retired due to health reasons. It's been 1 1/2 -2 years since I emailed with him.
