Members scrapyarddog Posted February 12, 2021 Members Report Posted February 12, 2021 The body is based on a Moynat pattern but shrunken to 87.75%. Changed handle to mostly turned edge and the closure from lock to strap. If I could redo it, I'd change the handle so no edges are exposed. The little knob at the tip of the strap close is a brass double cap rivet wrapped in leather. The belt keeper loop was a bit roomier than I anticipated so had to add some balk at the end of the strap to improve closure. I didn't want to break the color scheme so I wrapped the rivet. Friend asked for a rush order, and I had to use what I had in inventory to produce it, and just didn't have time to develop a brand new pattern. Quote

Contributing Member LatigoAmigo Posted February 13, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted February 13, 2021 @scrapyarddog Lovely color and a great design. Very nice work. Can you share what the inside looks like? Quote
toxo Posted February 13, 2021 Report Posted February 13, 2021 Stunning look. Well done. Unless you got the exact matching thread, did you colour after stitching? And how did you get that button effect? Quote
Members Retswerb Posted February 13, 2021 Members Report Posted February 13, 2021 That is the very definition of clean, professional work. Beautiful! Quote
Members Mulesaw Posted February 13, 2021 Members Report Posted February 13, 2021 Beautiful work. I really like the round detail of the closing hasp. it looks great combined with the leather covered rivet you added. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted February 13, 2021 Members Report Posted February 13, 2021 As I was reading what you wrote I was expecting to see the "issues" you were mentioning. If you wouldn't have said anything I would find this completely flawless. You executed wonderfully! Are the handle hold downs 2 piece or one? If they are one piece, How'd you make that happen? Quote

Definitely a dose of red there! YinTx I wonder if my friend is going to put money in it and give it to his wife as a big red envelope. Close guess. It's a red Alran's Sully. I forgot to ask RML to split this hide for the wallets I make so it's been on the shelf for a few months. Wasn't sure when I'd use it, but as fate would have it.

Can you share what the inside looks like? Hey thanks, the flap uses navy goat suede, the lining of the body is burgundy nappa + burgundy kidskin trim, the lining of the pocket is pink goat. Quote
