Members rickdroid Posted October 14, 2015 Members Report Posted October 14, 2015 what awl (size/brand/model#) did you use? I want to try something as small and delicate as your watchband but I don't have an awl small enough to do the work. I have tried to reduce one down with a sharpening stone but haven't gotten what i need so far. Thanks rick Quote

Members lilwaysleather Posted October 14, 2015 Members Report Posted October 14, 2015 very cool! Quote
Members Petewon Posted October 16, 2015 Members Report Posted October 16, 2015 Very nice work. What did you line it with? Quote
Members DR80 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 16, 2015 Very nice work. What did you line it with? It's cow hide. (around 2-3oz) I'm looking for a thin nice soft calf. (Have a lot of samples i have to go through.) The next one will be Barenia with baby calf lining. Quote
Members lilwaysleather Posted October 16, 2015 Members Report Posted October 16, 2015 How much did you pay for the shipping of the Barenia? I met the rep at a leathershow and was interested in ordering some but figured it would cost a arm and a leg to the U.S. Quote
