Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted June 29, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted June 29, 2007 Very nice walk through Don. Is that yellow dye or Cova you used on there?

Ambassador Don101 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Ambassador Report Posted June 29, 2007 belive it or not there is no dyes at all, i dont dye a lot of colourefull leatherwork so instead of buying all the colours just for one item i used permanent markers it doesnt wear off and is easier to use and cheaper ... i did a trial piece on a piece of scrap and oiled and rubed and it stood up to the test Quote
Ambassador abn Posted June 29, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted June 29, 2007 Very nice! Thanks for sharing both the "before" and "after" pics! Regards, -Alex Quote
Members keith Posted June 29, 2007 Members Report Posted June 29, 2007 Good looking wallet Don you done a great job as always Quote
Members bustedlifter Posted June 29, 2007 Members Report Posted June 29, 2007 Very cool ,Don! Is it hand sticthed or machine? I like the use of the markers,too. Quote
Ambassador Don101 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Ambassador Report Posted June 29, 2007 it is machine stitched i have a machine that will handel up to about 3-4 mm thickness but very really use it as it will only work well with polly thread and the most prodjects i do i use hanf thread and it breaks to easy in the machine.... the markers are a good idea as they do cover without strokes or lines and it doesnt rub off once its dry hence permanent markers Quote
Members bustedlifter Posted June 29, 2007 Members Report Posted June 29, 2007 What thickness is the leather? Quote
Ambassador Don101 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Ambassador Report Posted June 29, 2007 the leather is 1.5mm thick Quote
Members SmilinJim Posted June 29, 2007 Members Report Posted June 29, 2007 That's really nice Don. I especially like the interior. You don't usually see much custom work on the inside. Another great project. Keep up the good work. Keep on Smilin Jim Quote
