Quick wallet i made for a customer

[RascalLeather]

Hi Guys

Just thought i'd share my latest wallet that was done for a customer on commission we agreed on the name The Vagabond.  Its 1mm Veg Tanned leather dyed with Fiebings British Tan, and finished with leather balm.  Tokenole and elbow grease used for the edges.

Let me know your thoughts, happy to receive constructive criticism/advice too.

 

Thanks

Dave

Very well done, I dont see anything bad there. Nice clean seams, nice even staining. Did you dip leather in stain bowl or you brush it?

Maybe only thing, wallet should be more red, it makes more money :D (just some silly magic -dont read this)

You may be on to something.  I certainly have a hard time finding dyes that are supposed to emulate the natural darkening of veg tan leather without an excessive amount of red in the dye (to my thinking).  I'm using less and less dye and whenever feasible just NFO and sunshine.  This is of course, JM2C.  Jim

OBTW, Nice wallet @RascalLeather
