Members Cattleman Posted January 14, 2024 Members Report Posted January 14, 2024 Ive done roper wallets before... But this is the first with 2 banks of card slots. 6/7 oz Herman Oak body 2/3 oz veg-tan kangaroo interiors 1/2 oz sheepskin lining Client is getting a killer deal, I really under bid this one. Quote
Members DieselTech Posted January 14, 2024 Members Report Posted January 14, 2024 (edited) Looks great. Nice work. May I ask what you quoted your roper wallet at? I'm just curious as how to price something like wallets. Also what type of glue do you use on your sheepskin? & how you apply it? If you dont mind. Thanks. Great work BTW.

Thanks. Great work BTW. Expand I bid this wallet at $170... I should have bid it $30 to $50 more. That second bank of card slots and extra pocket behind the cash slot really add alot of time and material. I always use Weldwood contact cement... The original, not the water based crap. I just use an acid brush to apply the glue. But it is a pain in the butt to place the sheepskin where it needs to be by yourself. You really need another person to help stretch and hold the piece while you slowly place and adhere the sheepskin. Quote

I have really been cutting my toes off at pricing. But I mainly do basketweave type tool work. I am just now getting into leather carving. You tool work is great. Just love it & hope to be at that level someday. Thanks. On 1/14/2024 at 10:33 PM, Cattleman said: Here are a few more wallets I've done recently...
