Very nice. You did the center portion like petewon right? with the front panel facing backwards and the center strip?

Yes. But i'm not sure if i do it again.

Yes. I tried it the other day and after having it cemented in place for a few minutes I didnt like the way it was bending at the center so luckily I was able to rip the piece off! I am going to have to settle for the front piece not being lined on the inside when doing bifolds with hidden pockets.

If I was to fully line the inside I would have 6 layers of leather! (pocket, hidden pocket, front panel, lining, back lining, back). Without a skiver or splitter just would be too thick IMO!

I think i do my next one without lining at all. This one is not lined at the back and it looks good because the flesh side is nice (splitted with bandknife) it would be nice if it was possible to find thinner calf with finished flesh side.

Looks really good to me.

Hey this looks great! I've been meaning to start on my first wallet but it's so intimidating. I don't even see any issues with your stitching! What oz. leather did you use for this?

Thank you. The leather is 2 oz.
