I agree that there are some beautiful oak leaf and acorn designs that come out of the black forest.  However, the ones I linked are made by Max Töpfer out of Ergolding, a bit north of Munich.  Regardless, the central design isn't what I'm going for, but that edging caught my eye.

Yes the edging is very different and adds a great look.

So, not to be argumentative, but the more examples I've seen, the more I think that the colored edge is actually a separate piece of leather.  I'm thinking it's basically glued and rolled over the edge and either stitched through or with a separate stitch running below it.

The edging reminds me of what pinking shears do on fabric.  I've seen some advertisements for pinking/edging machines under leather working machines on ebay.
