DarkGoku Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 I just finished this for a friend of mine. Veg-tan hand tooled and black pro dye, for the outside. the inside is lined with black pig suede, and the interior is black Winston calf skin. (All hand stitch - saddle stitch) Criticism is welcomed, I have no one to really judge my work! I have thick skin so no feelings hurt here Quote
garypl Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 That's a great looking wallet! Stamping looks very good. The only comment I have is that the edges look like they could have been sanded/finished a bit more. Nice work! Gary Quote

Thank you, I will work harder on a better method Quote

Members jimi Posted January 12, 2018 Members Report Posted January 12, 2018 Looks very good and nicely stitched. i also agree with you, leather is looking thick. i would investigate skiving the edges. well done Darkgoku. Quote
Members JMcC Posted January 13, 2018 Members Report Posted January 13, 2018 Good job! Nice looking wallet.Try sanding the edges with 800-1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper before burnishing? You can buy it at auto paint store or possibly auto parts store. Quote
Members Fire88 Posted January 21, 2018 Members Report Posted January 21, 2018 Stamping and interior look good, I agree with others the edge is a tad thick. Skive the layers down a bit and you’ll have it perfected. Quote
DarkGoku Posted January 21, 2018 Author Report Posted January 21, 2018 Thank you for the feedback, i have another wallet to make and ill post it soon and hopefully it should look a little better:) Quote
