what didn't you like about it? When was the last time you used one? They have made upgrades. Not saying I would buy one either, they are pricey...I just have the luxury of borrowing one.
-
Have any pics for reference?

Inkscape is available for computers, but not on Android. Not sure if it's availabe on Apple. Free. Works well.

I have the luxury of "borrowing" a Glowforge. It can do awesome engraving, but has issues cutting 4-5 oz or thicker leather. There are better solutions for cutting, just don't know what the best is for both.

Always good information from Leodis Leather. Sometimes he is a little long in getting to the point, but always great information. -

Fabulous detail on tooling. Agreed, what a beautiful piece. -
I would just antique it to show off those carved lines you so carefully created.
-
Good choices. Great work!!!!
-
my pleasure.
-
Good to know. I will keep that in mind.
-
The entire piece (brown and green) is one piece of leather. The green area is died a different color than the brown.
-
Can you show some examples where you have used it? I have never bleached leather. Thanks.
-
You could definitely antique it to show off your carving skills. That would look pretty cool, I think.
-
I have yet to make a metal stamp. How long did it take you to make them? What was your inspiration behind these particular designs?
-
nicely done. I am glad you are able to repurpose the leather and make it "new" again. Great job.
-
Even on Amazon too.
-
Pretty awesome design, execution, and color. I struggle with gussets. You did a great job.
-
nice looking bag. He will love it. I am sure you will hear from him soon.

Yep...it's in Word Go to the "Insert" menu and choose "Word Art" Then choose the type of "transformation you are wanting...
-
Nice job. Agree about stitching lines around inlays and increased spacing. Might also want to skive down the rectangles so there isn't quite the lip around the inlays. Can't wait to see your next project.

I love the 2-tone. Must have been painstaking to get that done. What is the piece below the loops for? And how is it attached?
-
It appears there are multiple "styles" on the page. The one in question has holes for the strap to pass through. I placed matching arrow colors to show those that go together. Each different color is a different style, or pattern.

make sure to share pics of the final product to inspire the rest of us. Welcome to the forum.

lambskin will work. You could also try some 1-2 oz. vegtan leather. Either one will prevent more thickness or stiffness. Make sure to sew this on as well, not just glue it, then make sure to burnish the edges for that finished look.

welcome to the forum. It is a folded edge to provide a little more rigidity to the edge of the wallet. When using chrome tan leathers, it is preferable to do this. Otherwise it is pretty soft and can become misshapen easily.
