howardb Posted April 7, 2014 Report 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 Brent Howard CALG, HLG

Members WyomingSlick Posted April 9, 2014 Members Report Posted April 9, 2014 Are you interested in a critique and helpful tips? Quote (John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV) And the truth is that religion is nothing more than the lame attempt by largely ignorant people to bring sense and order to a world that was beyond their comprehension. Once you see religion for the delusional and superstitious artifact it is............... you will be free !
Members Wild Bill46 Posted April 15, 2014 Members Report 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
