16 Year Old Leather Worker From Upstate Ny

[Aidanforsyth0]

Hey there everyone. I've been on the forum for a while now but have yet to post in the Member Gallery section. My name is Aidan Forsyth and as you can tell I'm from upstate New York. I specialize in handcrafting leather wallets. Typically I like to use Horween Leather (chromexcel , soon cordovan) and often do custom projects for my customers. My website can be found here : www.lopalo.com

You're better off looking below at some of my more recent work as my website is outdated. Thanks for looking

Here are some wallets in progress and some completed :

Aidan, looks good. If you look at my wallets, it is hard to tell but I do all of the holes by hand. I did use the chisel once to do lacing holes.

This is a long process, & it will make your fingers sore. After two or three heavy hide wallets you won't even notice.
