That's nice,clean work !!! How big is the wallet when open? As far as leather goes, how thick (heavy) is it?

[rirakuma]

Thanks! It's 215mmx110mm open and the leather is 4-5oz outer and 2-3oz inner.

Looks good, how did you finish your edges? I like your pictures too.

Thanks guys! First I used an edge beveller then sanded the edges down including some parts of the bevelled areas. After that I dabbed some water on it with my hands and just used my edge roller to get it nice and smooth. At the end I used a sponge to apply some obenaufs LP around the edges, I don't actually know if that makes any difference but I thought it might help with the aging process. DJ, the wallet is saddle stitched. Tk, sorry I'm not very good with tutorials but if you're attempting a similar wallet let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help .
