Very nice. Beautiful edges.

BTW, is that a Tandy granite slab everything is on? I'm asking because I'm wondering if what I had bought from Tandy is granite and not marble, even though I think they listed it as a marble slab. Whatever I have, it looks like what you have in your pics.

Again, beautiful work.

Whenever I see the stitch work that Kevin and Steve do, I think the designers in the fashion world aren't even half as good. I think we ought to start giving these narcissistic sissies in the biz a run for their money.

That's really tight. Is the color on the pockets the color of the leather, or a stain/dye? You must be using a 10 pound sledge to get impressions that deep. Looks great. Still liking your chains.

Steve this is very nice. Kinda reminds me of the case that was for a PDA called the Zodiac by Tapwave. Of course yours looks way way better.

K - wow - what an honor!! I am happy to work something out...lets do it "off-bhoard" ok?And they are about 7.25 long and about 4" wide at the widest point - although that is not a scientific measurementsteveb

no Grumpy - the color on the inside is an airbrush produced presentaiton...i always use a 3color bnlend on the insidesi have a good heavy maul and I tend to work on pretty dry material so a good solid "whack" is all I need... I am not big on soaking/casing and tend to spray bottle my work rather than soaksteveb

Could you post these again in a smaller format, please? Maybe 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600? It takes forever to open 2mb files on dialup.

If you can't, I understand.

Steve, that's lovely! I've never seen a wallet shaped like that before.

And I have to say once more, I absolutely love the texture you put on your designs. It (almost) makes me want to try! Instead, I think I'll just admire your work : )

so, is the good captain from "fin"-land? *L* excellent work!

I invite you to try using textures and thinking of your designs past their appearance.spend some time with a pair of scissors and some kraft paper and you'll come up with some unusual shapes also....not all usable, but some will be interestingsteveb

Another great looking wallet Steve. What weight leather do you use for the pockets?
