Members battlemunky Posted December 5, 2018 Members Report Posted December 5, 2018 That looks great. I could easily see some rich dude pull that out of a suitcoat pocket to pay for some really good scotch. Quote

Members Stetson912 Posted December 5, 2018 Members Report Posted December 5, 2018 Very nice! Did you birnish the edges? I'm not familiar with the Sully but I thought it was veg tan. And in my experience, I run my wood slicker over the corners when I nip them like that. It rounds them out pretty nice. Awesome work! Quote

Expand It's combinatin tanned I think. So it does not burnish. I painted the edges with Fiebings edge paint. Not 100% happy about the restut, need to practice more Quote

bikermutt07 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 Fancy with a touch of schmancy. Good job. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

You say you are not 100% happy about the edge result, and I think it's because of your choice of edge paint. I would recommend you to use some of these. Fenice, Vernis 600, Beraud CT, Stahl, Uniters, Giardini. Personally, I prefer Fenice, but Uniters seems very popular. But I stay with Fenice since I'm used to that paint and I get decent results. If you decide one of these and need help to find it in Europe, just ask and I give you some links/recommendations. (Disclaimer: Vernis600 is really good but have a rather short shelf life, around a year or so.) Edited February 10, 2019 by Danne spelling Quote

I bought Fenice since then, used it on the other 2 wallets I posted here. Much better! Quote
