Members McJeep Posted July 11, 2011 Members Report Posted July 11, 2011 Really nice! How is the liner attached to the outside? Braiding on the outer - stitching on the inner - no sign of where the two are joined? What am I missing here? One day I'll have the nads to try working with exotics - really nice look to that wallet Quote "I gotta have more cowbell!" Cristopher Walken - SNL

One day I'll have the nads to try working with exotics - really nice look to that wallet I've mailed the wallet to the customer, so pity can't take more pics. But this is another wallet done by me, which gives you the idea why you see braiding on the outside and stitching inside. They are different layers actually. Quote

Members almac Posted July 14, 2011 Members Report Posted July 14, 2011 only thing i see wrong with it is that i don't own it! bravo! excellent work! Quote
reddevil76 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Posted July 14, 2011 ironically, I haven't made a wallet for myself after picking up this craft. always busy with one or another for someone else. That was a good reminder I need to make something for myself one of these days. Quote
Members benlilly1 Posted July 14, 2011 Members Report Posted July 14, 2011 Very, very nice!! The python and black look great together. Have you tooled drum dyed before? Just wondering how it looks and what advantages it has if any. 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
Members GrampaJoel Posted July 14, 2011 Members Report Posted July 14, 2011 I can't believe you sold that work of art to someone to put in their pocket and wear out!! Very nicely done.I admire you genius at developing a way to keep the front lacing from interfering with the opened insides! Joel Quote
reddevil76 Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Posted July 16, 2011 Thank you Joel. I tried many layout in the past. I finally settled on this for all my long wallets. Benlilly - I have only tried stamping on drum dyed. The only advantage I see is convenience of not having to dye big pieces when you want an entire wallet of black. Plus, the colour will always be more even than if you apply it yourself (unless you use a spray gun that is) Quote
