I'm working on a wallet at the moment. I have parts Super sheened as a resist/block. I have also used the Eco-Flo Cova Color on some parts. I now want to stain and antique. I have the Fiebings Hi-Liter brown. Although I'm a huge fan of the Antiquing gel, I'm venturing out to try new things. With everything I have read, it appears the Hi-Liter is a liquid form of the antique gel. Pretty much the same affect. What my question is, is how does the Hi-Liter affect the Cova Color? I have decided that while I am sitting here, I will test it and leave result information here: Hi-Liter, like many of you have already said, leaves a smooth more refined look compared to that the Medium Brown Antique Gel leaves. The Hi-Liter is lighter in color but looks like coffee with creamer in it. Very nice. It left a very slight color change on the Cova Color (white) with with Super Sheen and not much more without. I globbed it on with a dauber and scrubbed it in very very carelessly too. I wanted to maximize the effect. I did the same thing with the Antique Gel and it did what it does. It destroys everything with aged beauty. So, for the wallet, I chose the Antique. Don't kick my ass too much on this one. It's my first real attempt at Sheridan style tooling and I had to incorporate my style. I hope you guys like it. Thanks in advance. [/url]">http://

I'll be at it for a year in February. This is the one thing that I can say truly takes my mind off the craziness going on in the world. I hope you all like.

Im no expert but I think your card slots are too tight because your stitching needs to be closer to the edge of the leather. Looks to be 3/8 - 1/4 in when it needs to be 1/8.

Clay J, do you have any pics of the inside of the wallet? Also, I would like to see a pic of the side opposite of the spine. Just want to see how thick it is. And Tom, what your doing here on this site is awesome. Me being a new comer to this, I already appreciate what you're doing for everyone. Thank you! And don't worry, I'm sure I will be asking for some pattern assistance soon!
