Second Wallet

[Chavez]

Hi Horrrk,

I'm sure you'll be able to make something like this in a few months time. I've only been leatherworking in my free time for about 11 months, so I am still a newbie=)

I don't know about ghost recon, but I got my nickname a few years ago when I got a bad case of hay fever and somebody noted that I looked like Hugo Chavez. Then the nickname stuck =)

Hi Bob.

Its bag kote and then a coat of golden mink oil paste. It is far from being waterproof, but it protects from accidental splashes.

Looking back I'd use a few coats of aussies instead.

Thanks! I'll going to be making my first wallet soon and I'm trying to learn what a good finish would be. I really like how your wallet turned out.

Love the wallet. I'm looking at making first classic billfold and was curious what you did to make the wallet guts?

Hey chavez. I really like the natural look of that wallet. Is it for sale?

great work, Chavez.

i keep meaning to make a burnisher to go on the dremel - your edges look great - so thats another project i have to fit in when time allows!

What thickness leather did you use for the inner parts?
