Just finished this up for myself. Wanted to see how well the pattern worked. The spine is inlaid with ostrich leg leather and laced with 1/8 natural calf skin lace around the main part. I wanted a chunky look so I went with the 1/8 lace. The inlay was stitched with some fine lightly waxed thread from japan. It worked well for the first time using it. Same thread on the pockets. I used a air blade on the pockets just to add some light texture. I lined it with orange pig suede. Colors used: Eco flo yellow and bison brown on pockets and medium brown gel antique on the front. I used carnauba cream on the pockets and satin sheen on the main part. I also applied Fiebings Aussie on the lace, it gave it a nice glide thru the slits.

I don't post picture often but thought I would share this one.
