This organizer is a Christmas present I just completed for a customer...(my last Xmas project! Whew!)...and if you know this brand...please don't spill the beans...it's a surprise!

I make a lot of these organizers for the Horse Show community. Owners and contestants use them to maintain their horse papers, licenses, membership cards, etc., which they are required to present upon entering a Show. It's a full size 8x10, zippered organizer.

The exterior (7/8 oz Herman Oak) is tooled, dyed, finished with Neatlac and stitched with Rice #99 thread. The silver flower centers are solid sterling. The spine is a piece of 7/8 oz split down to 5/6 oz with a stiffener added to accomodate the 1", three ring binder. The interior (2/3 oz Calf), is finger carved, finished with Tan-Kote and stitched with Rice #69 thread.

Another fine example of your workmanship! :thumbsup:

The flower centers give it that extra touch, did you make them to?

SWEET, Darryl

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.

Then I realised God doesn't work that way, so I stole

one and prayed for forgiveness.
