Very nice! Glad I could be of assistance.

Cut the leather oversize by about half inch either side. Glue all the length leaving 1 inch either side dry. Wrap all the way from top to bottom using low tack masking tape. At this stage the two sides are overlapping. When the glue is dry, using a straight edge cut straight through the middle of the overlap leaving a dead straight line. 

Of course any tooling will be done when the leather is flat. Simps

Great idea  , I have double cut seams in other materials  in the past but they were  flat and large enough to really get a  bite on the straight edge .  I am afraid I couldn't do that on this particular item ,  my seam would look more like a zipper  unless I could clamp it all solidly  some how . Thank you and the double cut does makes for a tight seam .

Scrap leather used with plastic cable ties are great for holding leather to round things
