My First Leather Project.

[DR80]

No stitching yet, because i haven't got my stitching chisels.

Maybe it would look better if i had dyed the flesh side too.

Very clean cuts. X-Acto knife?

Yes. No:11 (Swann-morton) actually, I wanted to have rounded "inner corners" but i have bought a cheap hole punch set, so i can modify the tools.

Nice work well done

Whether the flesh sides dyed or not's up to your own personal taste. I think it looks pretty good.

Personally, I prefer to dye both sides but that's just me.

I'm looking forward to seeing it stitched.

I update here with pictures when the stitching is ready. When i get my stitching tools i can finish my watch strap too

I just buffed the luggage tag with Sedgewick leather care, i used a white cloth and the cloth got a little colored, normal?

What i have done with the leather (did it before i started with the cutting.)

1. Dyed (Fiebings pro oil)

2. Carnauba creme.

Thanks everyone for the nice words.

Tried som saddle stitching, not so easy without anything to clamp with. I think my next project is building a Stitching Pony.

Looks good and a stitching pony comes in handy once in a while on other projects it just gets in the way
