  1. There was a video of that somewhere around here a couple years ago. Check this thread:
  2. Thanks. Yeah the texture is interesting, very different from anything else.
  3. After seeing some cool elephant wallets I wanted to try some. I purchased 1 sq ft from Roje Leather. The texture is incredible. I was able to get 4 different sizes for wallets out of it. Here are the first two. 2 and 4 pocket card wallets. I used a 9tpi Blanchard pricking iron, Alran chèvre for the interiors and Lin Cable 632 thread. I use Fenice edge paint and sand to very a fine grit then buff with paraffin wax.
  4. How did the edges turn out? I paint my elephant edges.
  5. Nice work Bob. I like that medium brown on the back. Did you dye it? Can you run your stitching groove before you dye?
  6. I may need a new blade for my Landis soon. Let me know how yours is. Did it come scary sharp?
  7. How much money do you want to spend? How nice do you want it? How thin do you need it?
  8. In this thread I posted a page of Wayne's stamps that I scanned. There are some similar.

    Gar Wallet

    Sounds interesting. I'd like to see a pic of the skin. Where are you located?
  10. I think crocodile and alligator are a little too soft for burnishing. You may get better results with edge paint. Build up several layers, sanding in-between each layer with finer and finer grit and then wax and buff.
  11. Nice day to stay inside from the storm from Hurricane Harvey. Hand stitched with gun metal Amy Roke linen thread. Edges painted with Fenice.
  12. Nice work. I did one very similar to this almost a year ago. I used a Horween double horse front.
  13. Good idea and nice touch with the deer antler.
  14. My guess as to the glue is some type of water-based Renia, perhaps Aquilim GL, SG or 315. It might also be Saregum 130.
  15. Left and middle look good to me. I agree the .8 looks a little bulky. How many teeth on the other iron?
  16. Contact them at that website and ask if they have some left.
  17. Try Booth Tools. Booth carried some while Dixon was still in business. They may have some left. http://www.boothandco.com/handtools.php
  18. Lin Cable 432, which is a little thick for 9 tpi but still looks ok.
