Members Chavez Posted August 24, 2012 Author Members Report Posted August 24, 2012 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 =) Quote
Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted August 24, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted August 24, 2012 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. Bob Quote There are always possibilities....

Members strudell Posted August 28, 2012 Members Report Posted August 28, 2012 Love the wallet. I'm looking at making first classic billfold and was curious what you did to make the wallet guts? Shane Quote
Members tankersoldier353 Posted September 3, 2012 Members Report Posted September 3, 2012 Hey chavez. I really like the natural look of that wallet. Is it for sale? Quote

Members lightningad Posted September 5, 2012 Members Report Posted September 5, 2012 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? Quote "You is what you am, a cow don't make ham!" Frank Zappa - Musical Visionary Barking Rooster Leather Goods Pinterest Page
