Hello everyone Just wanted to share my current progress on my second wallet, I have gone for a hunting theme this time in a silhouette style, I think I am going to darken the background with just neatsfoot oil as i dont have a light brown dye. Also have no idea if i should do a border on not but we shall see. thank you.

Thank you it is 7 oz probably i know that is quite thick for a wallet but i was going to use 4-5 oz for the pockets but i quite like the thickness of it to be honest haha. Thank you very much, yes I think you are right about the stamping i am quite unsure about how much water to use and when to start tooling, also my stamps are horrible but i will buy good ones as progress. The pockets are my design but i will probably use thinner leather next time and i used fiebings pro dye dark brown, carnt wait to get started on my next wallet -

Hello Just wanted to show people how i made my own swivel knife I used a cheap swivel knife finger rest, a quick release keyring, the middle barrel from an auto centerpunch, and a hole cutter blade. I have used it and i am getting much better cuts now very happy with it.
