Straight razor case

[Sofaspud]

A friend asked me to make him a case for his razor. I have been wanting to try to make a rolled edge since the first time I saw Paul Long's tutorial.  For the most part I like the way it turned out. I tried to get a little color contrast by dying the liner Fiebing's medium brown, and used their Pro Dye in show brown. Unfortunately I did not do a color test prior to applying the dye.  There is so little color difference that if you weren't told about it you wouldn't notice it. Oh well, lesson learned.

Another lesson I learned on this piece is that when shaking a bottle of dye it is always a good idea to check that the lid is on tight, got lucky and didn't ruin anything.

Nice work. I like to see straight razors in a nice leather case.
