Get smaller tools, they said.

Can you share a photo?  How thick is it?  I am trying to keep this wallet really thin, so that is why I am using 2 and 3 oz leather. I have used some softy pig skin that was vegetable tanned on some checkbook covers and some bible covers I just finished, but it wrecks edges and is fairly heavy.

I thinik you just figured out how to make leather cost effective! Micro tooling.

now tool a grain of rice

lol, dont know about cost effective, that took me half a day to tool!  I imagine that rice didn't get done in five minutes!  I think its best if I let the rice art experts do their thing and stick to my leather..

I believe I used 1-2 oz pigskin

Come to think of it, I do have some of that leather.  I might try it on the wallet that came out really thin from the tooling, and see if I like it or not.  It isn't my favorite leather, but this might prove to be a purpose for it.

I opted to keep it simple this time around, and not lined.  I will make another and line it to see how it comes out.  Until then, the final version can be seen here:
