howardb Report post Posted April 7, 2014 This is the wallet I made for myself. I've been waiting almost a year to carry it, but I felt the need to compete with it. it took a second at last falls IFOLG show, and another second at last weekends' spring leather show hosted by Calumet Area Leathercrafters in Michigan City. Both times I got the comment that the lacing was loose. Yeah, I accidentally put 1/8" lace in 3/32" lacing holes... crap. (I don't know why I didn't take the time to do that before this show!) So I do need to re-lace it, but I'm going to enjoy it for a while. I may even put a round braid on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Bill46 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 I really think, you have an exciting piece there. Its very meticulous, The beveling is great,The background looks flawless, The colors are great together, I like it much, much, much ! So what if its somewhat off on the lacing, I can't see it from here, and Your pocket will never tell on you. LOL But, if your going to relace anyway it'll be showstopper for sure. BLUE RIBBONS all round ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
