DJole Report post Posted March 19, 2022 I'm nearly done with this project. It's a wallet for my brother, who is an assistant coach for a high school football team. I used some black "Caviar" leather (from France, bought from Rocky Mountain Leather Supply) because it has a very similar pattern to the one used on American footballs. The inside is a gorgeous, soft bit of calf leather from Orion leather in Texas. It's the best leather I have ever had the pleasure of working with-- too bad I used nearly all of the small sample I had for this project! ;-) The thread is cream and blue Ritza Tiger (.6 size). I completed all the stitching today, and the last step is to clean up and burnish the edges. This wallet really feels nice in the hand. That Caviar is great stuff!

PastorBob Report post Posted March 25, 2022 Love that pebbling on the outer piece. One of the hardest things to carve is a perfect circle. Yours looks pretty good. Nice job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
