Braiding Or Lacing For Billfold

[flyingcuda]

hello all, i am attempting my first billfold and i was wondering what is the best way to finish it off. what is the most effective braiding or lacing technique? any help or advise is greatly appreciated. i know that for durability and practicality, sewing would probably be best, but i would like to go for the braiding or lacing look for my first one. thank you all for your time. have a great one!

I would personally do lace, double loop/cordovan. This book is the best one I know of for all the styles. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/61906-00.aspx

I am assuming you are using a kit wallet. Be very carefull as you assemble it. It is rare for the holes in the liner to be punched in the same spots as the holes in the outside. Often times there are not even the same number of holes, so you may end up having to repunch some.
