CountryStyle Report post Posted July 24, 2012 Hey everyone, here are some pictures of a wallet and a belt I'm working on. The wallet was my first attempt ever at carving and tooling, and the belt my second. They are a little rough in places, but I'm happy with my progress. Also the staining on the wallet is uneven, but honestly I like it like that! I actually haven't even assembled the wallet, it was more for practice than anything. I prefer roper style wallets, which will be one of my next projects. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

electrathon Report post Posted October 7, 2012 Very good for just starting! My suggestions are two: First, do your first pattern 4 times. You will get better at it each time. Second, on your background drive it all doen to the bottom of the cuts and make it all leval. Not deeper around th eedges and higher in the middle.
