Brown Cxl Wallets

[Hi Im Joe]

Hello fellow leatherworkers,

I've been busy utilizing the awesome brown CXL I got from Aurora Shoe Co. Here are a few more wallets in some differently styles. In the next couple of days I plan to release these to etsy as a wallet series made entirely of brown CXL.

I cannot stress how much I love using this leather. I thought that CXL wouldn't take a burnish. However, I was wrong. The grain is so tight on this CXL it will absolutely burnish. I use saddle soap and then beeswax.

The first wallet is a minimalist bi-fold stitched with linen thread I waxed myself. The second is a snap wallet stitched with Ritza Tiger Thread. The card wallet is stitched with Ritza Tiger Thread and lined with cotton duck fabric.

Thanks for looking!

Joe

Thanks so much Rohn! I liked your green holster btw. It's always fun to see knife sheaths and holsters in colors other than black or brown!

Hi Joe, -------------------------

As always your wallets are a thing to behold ! always intrigueing and nicely done.

In picture five Im seeing a relitilely new idea, at least to me,

the thumb, can retreve its bills from either the top or the end with ease, and the card slots do not interfere.

You, among anothers, are an inspiration to me.

Even if it was an easy leather to work with. ----------- Wild Bill46

Nice wallets Joe! I sometimes like edges raw and unburnished. Nice designs.

Thanks Benlily! I agree sometimes it does look nice. However, with this wallets bevelling and burnishing the edges just makes them feel so much better in your hand.
