Very nice work clean stitching and planned spacing can you tell us more show inside?

Here are some more images of the interior of my wallets. I generally double-side each leather piece such that interior is lined with goat/sheep/piglet skin. When I started doing leather work I learned from others using online resources. After mastering basic skills, I started experimenting in order to come-up with designs that will be different from most other wallets. I also figured out not to use rulers for measurements and I do not overlap leather pieces in order to match holes and size. I use fork-punch with 4mm spacing and I measure my wallets in terms of holes (e.g. 20 x 14 holes). I first make holes on the main outer leather piece and I cut that piece in the exact final size. For all other pieces (card slots and money pockets ket divider) I cat them larger than the main piece, and then after I stitch the wallet I make the final edge cutting, smoothing and burnishing. I do not make any paper templates and I do not sketch anything.

Thank you very much. I use LightRoom software to downsize my images, but the lowest I can go is 300KB per image.

Very clean, well done. Welcome from the "blue hole" of Washington!

I finished this hairy calfskin wallet. Outside and a couple of card pockets are from calfskin and the rest of the wallet interior is from soft cowhide. It can fit up to 8 cards and some paper money (money pockets are just behind card slots).
