Members clintsdivco Posted March 16, 2013 Members Report Posted March 16, 2013 Just started this Tri-Fold wallet for one of my customers. He has owned this service station for 35 years and asked me to put this old picture on his wallet. Other than the name of the station all the other info on the door is the same including the phone number. It was quite a challenge to get all the lettering on the door. I will post more pictures after it is painted and completed. Quote

Members clintsdivco Posted March 20, 2013 Author Members Report Posted March 20, 2013 that looks really good man what did you use to get the letters in the door to look like that Thanks for the compliment. All of the lettering and numbers except "STANDARD" in the logo were carved in the leather with a swivel knife. I then put white paint in the swivel cuts then painted the blue up to the edges of the swivel knife cuts. I use Angelus leather shoe paint and seal it all with Super Shene. The STANDARD in the logo was painted with a very small brush, it was too small to try to cut with a swivel knife. Very nice! Like the look of it ! Where u from ?? "Hundservice" that is DogService in Swedish.... The customer owns an automotive service station and Hund is his last name. Thanks for all the compliments. Clint Quote
