DustinSmith Report post Posted January 23, 2023 I made this clutch wallet for a customer 3 years ago and the zipper finally gave out, she just wanted a new zipper on it but after I saw it again I decided to make her a new one, thus is what 3 years of practice, patience and alot of curse words will get you, so anyone new to leather, don't give up!

DustinSmith Report post Posted January 23, 2023 I'm using 4-5 oz leather for the shell, a floating canvas liner for the inside with 8 card slots on the inside, I'll post pics of the finished product as soon as she's all stitched up, thanks everyone!

Outfitr Report post Posted February 8, 2023 Huge improvement! Nice work. I've actually thrown out some of my own projects that I was pretty happy with at some time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beanwood Report post Posted February 10, 2023 Well, having not yet tried carving, I'd have been very happy with the 3 yr old version - but the latest is just wonderful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Found one spot where you shaded and cut after. Left side between the 2 leafs on the end of a vine next to the turnback. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In amongst that great tooling, its pretty hard to spot . Pffft... I wouldn't worry about it, looks great . We all know our own work. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
