DieselTech Report post Posted January 14 (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.

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kangaroo magnetic money clip wallet: $150 Fully floral tooled bi-fold with kangaroo interiors, 100% hand stitched: $260 (should have been closer to $300) Edited January 14 by Cattleman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 27 minutes ago, Cattleman said: Here are a few more wallets I've done recently...
