toxo Report post Posted April 20, 2023 My old wallet has been an embarrassment for ages considering I'm a leatherworker so I finally bit the bullet. Nothing special and loads of mistakes but boy have I learned a lot. Was determined to try to machine it. Don't look too closely at the stitching.

PastorBob Report post Posted April 20, 2023 I really like the look of that. Looks like a nice, supple leather already broke in. Nice job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted April 20, 2023 Thats pretty much how I do a lot of my wallets. All cards or a variation of a pocket or two at the back for cash, and plenty of room for cards. I don't do the ' everything including the kitchen sink' type wallets that turn into a small paving brick by the time they're filled up. Simple and very practical. So love the colour too Nice rich deep colour. Looks like a nice mahogany? And you like fishing in Canterbury too Is that fly fishing? I like it Well done.

It's a tad tight due to mistakes but it'll wear in. Started with 1.2 mm V/Tan and got the skiver working well enough to get the first four panels down to 0.6/0.8mm Combination of Feibings dark brown and Norsol saddle tan (different layers) and of course Resolene. Canterbury& District AA has a good river and a few lakes including a trout lake but I generally fish the river. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraulein Report post Posted April 21, 2023 Looks good! Nice simple clean design. Love the dye work. Wallets are so much harder than they look, it's just so difficult to get everything to line up right. You did great on it though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It means so much when fellow leatherworkers acknowledge your work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
