Stetson912 Report post Posted October 12, 2018 I've been making things for everyone else lately I decided to make myself this new wallet. Let me know what you think. Alligator Embossed cow hide dyed black (it was an insettling grey color to start) stuck to a 2-3 oz veg tan backer. Interior is 2-3 oz veg tan. 50/50 is mop n glo finish. All comments and critiques welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stetson912 Report post Posted October 13, 2018 Thanks everyone. @JLSleather, I was using one of your minimalists for a long time. But thought I'd switch to this when I saw how that embossed leather cleaned up. And if anyone ever asks me what I make I have an example haha. I know how it is too. Get busy making every one else stuff you neglect the things you want... Then you end up with a $10 nylon wallet from Walmart... Hahaha! Just teasing ya Kind of a "everyone's car runs but the mechanics" situation haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post Posted October 13, 2018 Looks good. I've thought about getting some of that embossed gator and seeing things like this I'm really running out of excuses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stetson912 Report post Posted October 13, 2018 Thsnks @battlemunky, Im probably going to paint the edges. It doesn't burnish all that well honestly. But I'm not sure if it's chrome or not. But it dyed nice and finished well, so that works for me. I only wish I had a colored thread because I'm proud of the stitching on this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted October 13, 2018 Quite nice , well done . Perhaps finish off the edges a bit , but otherwise quite nice. The ' Gator' has a nice shine . HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
