That is one nice looking key fob. I like how the thread color compliments the red and black.

Thanks, I did not trim after stitching but I made sure the edges were even and square before I marked out the stitches and tried to make sure my stitching chisels did not wander. Due to the total thickness of approx 1/4" I punched the outer shell first, then glued together and and punched the inner layers using the outer shell as a guide.

Here is a deer skull wallet I recently finished. It matched the change purse I made earlier. Outer shell is 4-5oz veg-tan and the inner parts are 2-3 oz veg-tan. Dye is Tandy Eco-Flo medium brown applied with an air brush. Hand stitched with Tandy waxed nylon thread.

Very clean, very crisp, very nice!!!

Small coin purse with carved deer skull. 3-4oz veg-tan. Dye is Tandy Eco-Flo medium brown applied with an air brush.

Thanks for pointing that out! I had not noticed or thought about it. I will be more aware when I do the next one. This is why I like to show other leather crafters my efforts, often they will notice details I overlooked. It's all part of the learning process.

Very nice, what color - brand of dye did you use?

Hand stitched, with the exception of the strap.

I just finished my first purse, which was a gift for my wife. The leather is veg - tan 4-5 oz, with embossed crocodile pattern and the color is Tandy - Eco-Flo stain ( Bordeaux). The inside has eight card slots and a zippered compartment. Dimensions are approx. 9.5" x 5.5" x 2.5" deep.

Just finished this long wallet. Outer shell is crocodile embossed 5 oz veg tan. Insides are 2-3 oz veg tan and the dye is Fiebings black

Very nice! What is the collar around the handle for? I thought it might protect the handle if the head missed the target but the blade is so large you probably couldn't miss.

Beautiful work, I love the lining and the edge finishing.

Interesting design, are the side separate with a spline on both sides? It looks like that might be easier than rolling it over from one piece..

It is hand stitched.

After a year or so of making key fobs, wallets, bookmarks, coin purses etc. I decided to take the plunge and loose my " gusset virginity" as a first step towards making a hand bag. So my first gusseted project was a belt pouch. It turned out no too bad ( in my opinion) and sewing in the gusset was not as hard as I thought it would be. The leather I used was Tandy 5 oz. veg tan and the color is Tandy Eco-Flo Water stain Tan.
