Nice work. I haven't done much lacing so can't comment on the termination. However, I've just started playing around with tooling and was curious about how long that took you?

Might be nonsense - but I'd have thought that because the oil won't seal the leather it'll pick up dirt as soon as it's exposed to it. Assuming the wallet's been in your pocket, it's probably going to have had dirt rubbed into it (speeding up the rate of staining).

Steve: I did try to terminate the stitching that way, but couldn't get the needle between the layers - it felt like the needle was just going to tear through both layers at a steep angle. Probably just need more practice! 5 Spice: Cheers.

Hi all, This is my first proper stab at a 2 pen case, based on a Piquadro case with notepad. All hand-stitched. The only thing I wasn't particularly happy with the was the back-stitching - which is a bit too obvious (shown in the final image). Any suggestions/comments/questions welcome. Thanks, Ed
