    Rohn --------------- Super nice looking Bilfold, I think Im fond of the multi colored gator. The mexican hand braid looks very dressy with this leather combo, the more I look, the more fond of it I get. It goes without saying your work looks flawless. ------------ Wild Bill46

    Chief ---- Seems as though you do study really well ! This example of your Dobro strap is in a word "Exquisite" Tasteful lines in small straps matching in larger straps. Tooling and Color coordination could also be used in this word. Super effort Chief, ______________ Wild Bill46

    Zayne ---------------------------- Some years ago, I debated this topic with myself in making myself a Truckers wallet. for all the formentioned reasons, I elected to use 1.5 - 2. oz for square interior pockets, and sewed these seperate pockets atop eachother to a separate back, before edge sewing/lacing the whole bilfold closed. I have since reasoned, after seeing others designs, that the T-pockets would indeed be best for my for my quest. Hope this might be of help ? Merry Christmas to you and yours ---------- Wild Bill46

    Dragonworks -------------------------------------- I think this is a great new design (at least to me) I would like to carry such a design. Good work ! and a Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I don't doubt you, This must have been a really fun project. your progression is on a parralell with Monica's in that it seems to be vaulting by leaps and bounds. Again, really nice application Joe. by the way ; I don't want to leave you out in wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas, and a great New Year too ! And to all other leather artists I may not have gotten to. -------------------- Wild Bill46

    Grey --------------- Your correct in soaking till the bubbles begin to show. Now take them out and let dry till almost natural looking, Then begin your tooling, hole punching, lacing/stitching etc, She uses a 50% x 50% solution of Resoline /Water in several coats. hope this helps ---------- Wild Bill46

    Grey --------------- Yes Yours is a great design Idea, and Yes they make great gifts too. My wife has made many, many sets and laces the edges on some , Everybody goes nuts over them. And yes its good to practice on scrap. I might suggest you soak them before tooling. And a good finish too. So they keep thier shape better over time when holding sweating beverages. --------- Wild Bioll46
