Hello all!

Here is a roper wallet (or long wallet) that I just finished for myself. Btw, my nickname is Nate in case you're confused.

I needed to make myself a wallet so I could have some of my work with me when meeting potential customers. Also, my Cabela's wallet was falling apart.

It is lined with Tandy's super soft pigskin. 

When I showed it to my dad, he said I should have stamped "A fool and his money are soon parted" on the inside flap...  (I think I should have done that too considering how often I go to Tandy... :wacko:

Let me know what you think!

Comments/critique always welcome.

Thanks for looking!

Nice work!  I believe that one should last a long time, and not fall apart!

Thanks YinTx! I forgot to mention that I was inspired by your cell phone slip case. :yes: I really like the BW and sheridan mix.

Thank you, Ron! I did the seeder with camo on a wallet for a friend and I really liked how it turned out so I did it to mine as well.

Thanks, Jeff! It's a screw-back concho with two screws.

4500... Yep, all stitched by that machine. I'm surprised at how well it stitches thin leather. That inside flap is 3/4oz.

Hmmm.  The Cobra machine -- suposedly same machine -- would only waste time trying to sew that.  Stitches would be far too loose.  I really must get something ELSE.

Nice work, what brand stamps do you like to use? Seems like others’ stamp work is always sharp and crisp compared to mine

The saddle maker I am an apprentice for has a cobra machine. I've used it a bit and I like my cowboy better because of the tighter stitches and its ability to stitch thin leather.

Thank you! I have already bumped into several folks who wanted to see my work and I could show them my wallet.

Hi! They're all craftool or craftool pros. Not the best quality for sure but the crispness comes from when I stamp the leather after I get it wet. If you stamp right after you wet the leather it will look mushy and soft but if you wait until the leather returns to its natural color (or looks dry) the stamping will come out clean and crisp. Hope this helps.

Thanks! That's how I sign my name so I just lightly signed the leather with a pencil and cut/beveled around the mark.
