Members ramrod Posted October 30, 2012 Members Report Posted October 30, 2012 these are so cool! i love the patina on the leather. why can't i be smart enough to think of this? LOL you've got to keep us posted on how you're doing with these. Quote
Trox Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 Since the wallet are sewn toghter by strips I would try my bell knife skiver; skive then turn 180 degree and run them true twice. You could also try the trick with blue scotch masking tape. Tape it on the hairside before running them true your splitter or bell knife. This way you will be able to thin them down much without ruin them. I have not tried this myself yet, however a member here tipped me about this trick. It works well with the bell knife, and the blue tape leave no glue on the leather. I think about the embossed parts of the baseball glove leather, it is weak in those parts.
