Alright guys, I posted some WIP shots of this one earlier. Now done, and ready to hand over to the client.

It is 2mm italian veg tan, with a pigment finish coat. Beautiful stuff, and great to work with. 

It is stacked up to 4 layers thick where the cardslots are on the left side, so it is a fairly substantial feeling piece, and punching those stitch holes with the awl was both character building, and a great learning experience!

The lining is 1mm chrome tanned kangaroo skin in a tan colour.

The whole thing is hand stitched, with waxed linen thread.

There is a tuck lock closure, which adds a nice bit of bling.

Enjoy! Comments, questions, and feedback is always welcome: I'm here to learn, and share what i have learned the hard way.

Like for starters... i should get a bell skiver (or a schar-fix? However they're spelled in ze german language), so I can consistently skive the edges and not need to punch through 8mm of veg tan with an awl! Lol

And a hefty sewing machine and ...and...6 hours drive mate and you can practice and ponder on all sorts of machinery.

hahahaha, well that does sound great! just gotta get a day off from baby duty, the day job, and the honey-do list... They are not necessarily prioritized in that order.

I'll take you up on that one day.
