Lighter Mod

[Hardrada]

Got meself a new tobacco pipe lighter: Kiribi Kabuto.

Now, Kiribi offers a leather-covered version of their Kabuto (Kiribi Kabuto Kuroi), and looking at it I saw that its texture was suspiciously similar to Riviera calfskin... of which I had a remnant here... hmm

A few hours later, I ended up with this:

 

Not happy with that roughing up of the leather along the stitch line. Wonder how it can be avoided in the future.

Of course, I couldn't hammer the stitches on this, so I rubbed them with the bone folder.

All in a night's work, I guess.
