Molded Leather Cell Phone Case

[Leatherimages]

I was asked to make this cell phone case and I just finished it in between boots.

Deer tanned cowhide applied over a split leather molded form.

Lined with Kangaroo and buck stitched with roo as well.

Thanks.

I use the split most of the time to lay down a base layer on new lasts before I build them up.

It ocurred to me I could use it for a soft molded form.

It was easy to lay over the leather mold.

BTW, Wickett and Craig will send it along at no extra charge when I ask them to split a piece to my selected weight.

At 2 ounces or more, it's a real handy thing to have around the shop.

That looks great. I really like the buckstitching. What did you use for the mold?

Thank you.

The mold itself was two layers of butt leather from bends. They're about 12-13 ounce, and I glued them together and rounded the edges as I wished.

You could use skirting too, of course.

The leather for the case was molded from a 2 oz. split off of a side that I ordered from W&C, using the technique in the Stohlman cases books.

If you don't have these in your library you're cheating yourself, and doing it the hard way.
