celtic wallet

Nice job. I've used the same design on several belts and my eyes did get tired. After I showed one belt to a friend he gave me a tip that I'll pass along. Cut and bevel deepest next to the background. Cut and bevel less deep on a cross over. Not a big difference, but it will up your skill level and the appearance. Stan -
Beautiful flower. Tandy has a free handout re a similar rose, but yours is wayyyy better. By the way there's nothing wrong with the color. My wife raises nearly black irises. Stan

Good burnishing on the sides. Keep up the good work.. Stan -
Try Wild Rose Trading Company. They have a good, free on-line sheath making tutorial. It also covers handsewing as well. Remember to add a narrow layer of leather between the top and bottom layers of the sheath to protect the threads from being cut. It also protects the sharp blade from any rivets you might add. Good Luck, Stan

Call Lisa Koloen @ 800-547-1299. She is a third generation Leather maker/seller. Now works for Wickett & Craig. She will treat you right and W/C sells tannery direct with a one side minimum. Just talked to her at the Sheridan show. Neat lady. Stan
