Yeah, that looks good. Don Gonzales has a video where he demonstrates a quilted technique. He laid the diamond pattern out, swivel knifed it, beveled with a shader and used ... I think it's called a Beader ... in the center of each tuft. It looks similar to what you have.

Nice work.

Thanks. Yeah I have been meaning to use Don's quilted technique on a project.

Looks like a winner and thanks for personalizing it for me.  Last time I tooled leather was in the 1970s. I sold small items, mostly Tandy kits, in the general store at a resort where we spent our vacations.  Still have my little collection of stamping tools and I use one of them - a large pear shader for molding leather straps in a rounding block.

Thanks TomE. Yeah I have kinda been slacking here lately. I am hoping at some point I can make some horse tack as nice as the stuff you make TomE.

Thanks. I thought earlier I had ruined all my nice work. I tried a new Fiebings Saddle tan dye & my leather turned black & kinda splotchy. 

I was freaking out at 1st, but it is going to be a beautiful color once dry. So far it is lightening up & the splotches are slowly disappearing.

Thanks Cattleman's! I appreciate it. We will see what you think of it after a bit. 

I had a wonky piece of leather I believe & there was a few spots that would not take dye very good. 

But after dying & antiquing it, I like the effect or results of it. 

Lmao I will just tell my friend that his wallet is wonky like him.

Turned out really nice.  The diamonds in the middle panel really tied the other two together well.  Your letters turned out awesome as did the bass. The splotches in the dye look good, they make it look like shadows on a lake close to the bank.  Good work.

Thanks. I appreciate the positive feedback. For not handling my leather tools for over a year, the wallet turned out pretty nice.
