reddevil76 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 A customer recently gave me an order for a biker wallet, cuff and leather wallet chain. I used drum dye black veg tan and natural colour python for the inlay. Lining is goat. The wallet chain is also black veg tan. Quote

reddevil76 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Posted July 10, 2011 Beautiful work. Did you remember to seal down the scales on the python? Thank you all. I don't know about any known process to seal down the scales, but on one previous wallet, I did glue down the scales using white glue and a small brush to neaten things up. But the customer actually commented that the python looks fake because its all flat.. so I kind of stopped that practise after. Quote
King's X Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 To keep the thickness down.....what ounce do you use for your interior panels? Very nice work thanks for sharing! Quote Greetings from Central Texas! The Grain Side Up blog #TheGrainSideUp
Members moeg Posted July 10, 2011 Members Report Posted July 10, 2011 That is a fantastic piece of work, I really like the way you did the insides, thanks for sharing. Moe Quote What you focus on determines your reality. Some Jedi guy.
reddevil76 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Posted July 10, 2011 To keep the thickness down.....what ounce do you use for your interior panels? Very nice work thanks for sharing! The black veg tan is about 5/6 oz by default. For the interior panels, i ran them through my splitter, down to about 2-3 oz to keep everything thin. This is actually my 2nd attempt. The first one I only skived the card slots, and fumbled on the planning for the inlay, lining, etc. The first one ended up thick like a subway sandwich. This 2nd one when compressed flat is about 1/2 inch thick. Quote
Phatdaddy Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Beautiful wallet. I like everything about it. Quote
