Wedgetail Report post Posted September 5, 2017 Hey guys, just a couple of wallets I made on commission for some groomsmens gifts. 6 pockets, being 4 cardslots and two stuff pockets. Initials were etched on my laser cutter. I used veg tan leather for these, dyed with fiebings pro oil dye dark brown. Stitching is black SLAM thread, and is 10spi. Decided it doesn't need to be that fine though. Also my tandy pro fine diamond chisels keep bending one or two prongs even through thin leather and fu..., I mean 'messing up' my projects. So i am going to try out some different chisels from GoodsJapan. Took me an age to skive the leather down to the right thickness evenly, because what I had was about 1.7mm and what I needed was about 1mm...tried passing it through my bench skiver but was too stretchy at that thickness and size, so I resolved that from now on I shall buy the right thickness of leather for this type of project. And in line with that resolution, I now make this pattern out of Kangaroo. Anyways, hope you like 'em! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
