Skull Cowboy Wallet.... attempt ;)

[Big Papa Leather]

First off again thanks to Froghunter I used the skull cowboy head from his clock.

I hope I did it justice.

This is a standard Tandy Biker wallet. It has the thin pig leather inside with the bellows type pocket.

Not my favorite design for an interior.. but it works.

Now all I have to do is find it a new home!

This looks fun. Maybe you can leave some areas inside the face or had to grab some of the outter color so it looks more 3D. What did you use that makes it so shiny? Good work though.

What did you use that makes it so shiny?

Fiebing's Leather Sheen. The spray can stuff. It is very shiny. Sometimes too shiny. I got some Satin Sheen after the completion of this wallet to use on the next project.

Nice little wallet there.

The only thing I don't get is why use holes as large as you did for the edge and then use thread to stitch it?

Looks like it might be a kit, with pre-punched holes.

Yes, it was a Tandy biker wallet kit.

It came with the thread and the lace. Since I am struggling with the double loop lace I chose to stitch it to finish it quicker

Try buffing it with sheepskin if it is too shiny. It will still be too shiny but the character of the shine will change to the better.

I think the key is to work it up to a warm temperature.

Cool wallet, skulls are nice;-)
