roadking07 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 Here is a wallet I just finished - it is made from pigskin that would normally be used for lining - around 1.5 - 2 oz.. I wanted a very flexible and thin wallet - nothing fancy I just wanted a clean look and a place to put a few cards and some bills that would fit nicely in dress pants for work. It is thin enough to carry in the front or rear pocket and is hand rubbed with some leather dressing to darken up the pigskin from it's natural pink color. You can see the before picture with no leather dressing and the after picture that is much darker. The wallet will continue to darken with use. It is hand stitched with waxed thread and the edges burnished with the fantastic edge burnisher that I recently got from Ivan - it makes life so much easier - thanks Ivan!
