Hello & welcome your English is fine, (much better than my French)

Any idea what the margin is? Revenue is pointless if the is no profit.

I could be interested too, looking for one with a small blade for filigree stuff

Maybe the original post got lost during the server migration?

Oh.my. thats amazing!

Just to say thanks for all you & others do to keep this site running

Have you tried a white undercoat?

Have you tried a white undercoat?

To my mind, with a light dye the edge will always be darker as the edge is soaking up the dye on 2 faces (front & side) but the middle is only getting dye on the front? you could try on your dry piece to apply a coat to the centre only?

Thanks, forgot to get some & now it’s with it’s new owner!

So I got the pattern from Mariuspirvu (Link) I tweaked the centre strap to fit the carving, but a nice easy pattern to follow. Its 1-2mm Italian calf lined with a similar thickness lining leather. Hand sewn using a 1mm thread off of Amazon, i do think my stitching is improving Comments & critiques welcome.
