really nice design and great contrast.

 

Thank You, Gentlemen. It's 4-5oz. Total thickness, empty, measured with the veg tanned, 8.3mm or about 5/16ths. Measuring just the chrome, 6mm, ~ a hair under 1/4".

Nice. Looks sharp.

The book cover is coming along. Same 4-5oz but in brown. When the house is around 65°F, I keep wondering if using a heating pad to warm up the Horween will help it mold. 

I'm not going to wrinkle the leather up so it will marble with pull up. Any pull up on the B5 journal will happen from use. Putting it on and pulling it off the book. 

I have 3-4oz Horween cavalier in a strap I lined a belt billet with. It's a bit thin for my tastes being the whole project. They have 8-9oz cavalier and for the world of me, I can't think of a thing, to where that thick of Horween could be used. Boots? Definitely not the things in my range of making.

4-5oz on the card holder, "fits" my style of doing things. And I hope it gives y'all lots of ideas.

This came straight out my head. I used 4-5oz Horween caviler in plum(buckleguy). Veg tanned 3-4oz dyed chocolate(Fiebing pro dye) with a huge .08mm yellow thread(Ritza). Angelus brown edge paint. I used one of those fancy open eye snaps in 12mm(buckleguy). Half the time it's ugly, the other half it's in your pocket. But it's mine. Probably my last, 'wallet' of my lifetime.  

 

 

 

 

Nothing ugly about that!  I'm loving it.  Awesome work!
