My Wallet

[Stewart]

Well had to try doing one.Old one wore out-store bought.

Made all mistakes that could have been made. Cut backing wrong size.

Not wide enough and too long. The lace holes was lined up with a

clamped down steel ruler--- reason for $700.00 shed. I am always a 1/2 bubble off.

Used wood stains except for black paint. Good idea but bad application.

Did not want to use leather or wax thread lacing. wanted to do artificial sinew.

Know I know which type of lacing to use and to help cover spacing ( Twinoaks)

The carving of pipe I am happy with, I did use same piece of scrap to test the stains

except for the Black paint.

The inside inserts were bought from Springfield in which they helped me on how

the thing is suppose to work.That's when I found out that it was not wide enough.

well waste not want not.

Here goes

It looks good and even better if you are happy with the results. You also got far than I because I hate to color. I believe I must be color blind since my dyeing job come out ackward.

Happy carving!
