Black Buttero w/ Ghost camo wallet

Agree with everyone on looks and execution. Really nice work! I too can't wait to see how the patina works out on this, you'll have to get some follow-on pics.

It is a nice wallet.  How is the Buttero to work with compared to other leathers like Wickett and Craig, or Hermann Oak?

thanks for the kind words. Im also interested to see how the wax wears off and the patina develops.

I really like working with buttero mainly for the variety of colors. i like that i can get it split really thin 0.6/08mm and it still has enough body not to flop around while skiving or working with thin panels. I do have a side of wicket and craig naty veg that i use for jobs that i hand dye on occasion i find its really dry and i dont like that i have to do alot of finishing to get the look i want. Also i feel like the wicket and craig has alot more scars than the italian stuff ive been buying.

i have no experience with hermann oak although it does look really nice, if i could find a supplier that splits panels of it i would like to try some. I did just recently try this veg tan from La Perla Azurra and i can say with out a doubt its probably my new favorite leather.
