thekid77 Report post Posted January 22, 2015 hey friends, when you're lacing a basic roper style wallet, (three pieces of leather----one back piece attached to two inside panels), how do you get the lacing to look continuous when going across the middle section of the wallet (top and bottom) where you're just lacing the back piece? in other words, doesn't going from lacing through two pieces of leather, then suddenly lacing through one piece break the visual continuity of the lacing, ie, the lacing would look thicker when lacing the two pieces of leather than it would when lacing thru one layer? sorry for the bad wording....i'm not sure of any other way to ask the question....thank you in advance for sharing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief31794 Report post Posted January 22, 2015 There will be a slight deviation in the lacing, barely perceptible. Once you've laced the whole piece, tamping the lace with a mallet will make it even less noticeable. But the wallet is thicker where the panels are so therefore the lacing can't be the same thickness. The wallet is going to be folded where the thinner lacing is which will make it even less noticeable. Chief Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeatherLegion Report post Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) You can have the interior of the wallet made out of one piece too with a cut out in the center leaving 1/2in at the edges. It's like your 2 pieces being connected . This way you will have the same thickness all he way around. That's how I sell my biker wallet kits now...switch from 2 panels to one just for that particular reason.
