Members rscow Posted September 8, 2014 Members Report Posted September 8, 2014 That is AWESOME. All it lacks is some canopic pockets to store your vital organs. Seriously. A masterpiece. Roger Quote

Members LederRudi Posted September 8, 2014 Members Report Posted September 8, 2014 Voosh!(Viennese German exclamation of awe and admiration) Very originative idea! Time-honored stone carving expertly translated into leather! Quote "If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?" Tuco Ramírez
Members OdinUK Posted September 8, 2014 Members Report Posted September 8, 2014 Very nice and original wallet. Do you use a real stone to get the stone looking boarder or is it done with traditional tools? Superb work. Quote Lord Of Leather
Members Solofalcon Posted September 8, 2014 Author Members Report Posted September 8, 2014 Thank you all for the awesome comments. Billybopp- I found a translator online for hieroglyph but the translation is not family friendly. Let's just say I was inspired by Pulp Fiction. OdinUK- I did not use real stone. I used a swivel knife to define my edges and used one of the Tandy backgrounders over and over again for the entire border. For the overall beat up look, I just took various leather working tools and dropped them from about two feet onto the leather many times over, once the tooling was complete. Quote
