Chief31794 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 Got a special order to replace a 40+ year old wallet for a US Army Retiree who was in the Engineer Corps. Hadn't ever carved an Engineer Castle before but he really liked it. I had pictures of the old wallet which he was still using, it had duct tape (that's how I knew he was a real Army Retiree), and pieces had torn away and the engraving was barely recognizable. Lacing was a single whip stitch but I didn't do the replacement that way because I don't think it provided enough construction stability (so maybe it would have lasted 50 years with double loop!). Any way, thought some of the Military folks might want to see the castle. Chief Quote

I retired from the Army but my branch was Ordinance. Thanks also for the nice comments on the Castle. Chief Quote
