Time For A New Wallet.. Fng In Pac Nw

[Gregory]

Thanks guys. I truly appreciate your thoughts and replys. Aaron, I am going to see if it's something I can do but if not, yours is a touching offer. Dwight, it is something that reminds me if him daily and was even when we weren't "close". Good memories. I hope to continue using it, but I definitely would keep it none the less.

Thanks again- Greg

Ok- Here it is. Pretty rough huh? I'm wide open to comments.

Thanks- Greg

Replacing the badly damaged leather wouldn't leave much of the original back. I would make a pattern from it and make a new one just like it. Then put this one away where it is safe and can be pulled out to look at when you want to revive good old memories.

It is pretty bad. If you want to continue using it I would cut out the lace. Glue a thin (about 2 oz) layer of leather between the inside and the outside. Lace it back togeather. It will not be too pretty, but it would retain most of the origional wallet.

Or make a new one.

Here's Dad's old box/case. Mostly craftools, and some neat little practice pieces in the drawers along with the some clear plastic letter templates, stains and lacing.

There is a bag of leather pieces too. I believe the piece I cut my wallet from is still there. It feel supple, will it be awful to tool or still useable? Is there a timeframe to "use up" leather?

I think I'll make a new wallet and try to repair the old one too. My twin boys are excited to learn too.

Had to include Dad's cartoon, hidden under the lid..

Thanks again- Greg
