Members Narvi Posted July 30, 2014 Members Report Posted July 30, 2014 That is beautiful work! How long does it take you to do the lacing on a piece like that? Quote
Chief31794 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Posted July 30, 2014 That is beautiful work! How long does it take you to do the lacing on a piece like that? Narvi, Thanks for the nice complement. It takes about 2 hours to completely lace a wallet. It takes a while to punch the holes, etc. But the lacing itself is about 2 hours maybe three depending what's on TV in the shop. Chief Quote
