This is a gift I made for my brother-in-law. 

I couldn't find a pattern out there for one like this so I made a pattern for it. This is my third production from that pattern.  I think it's my favorite so far.

It's 3-4 oz vegtan. I am still a beginner at dyeing and tooling.    

I hope I can keep this secret from him until Christmas!!

I'm impressed you were able to line up the stitches on the dividers with the tooling decoration on the outside so well.  I've struggled with that effort myself!

Very nice! How many layers are in the handle/divider section? You did such a nice job of the edge, I can't tell!

That is why I had to make a pattern!!  I would never had tried it without one. Punching all those holes and then lining them up to barge them together was a challenge, as well.  But I finally came up with a solution that made that job very easy and I had no problems with any holes not being aligned.  I just had to repurpose a few tools.  
 

On another note, which I need to start a conversation about, I am not happy with any of my leather punches.  There must be quality leather punches out there somewhere!!

Sinabroks make me smile. They aren't giving them away but man are they good irons!

That is really nice.

If I had something like that it would make me take up drinking beer just so I could collect the tinnies in it   :lol:

Real nice!  I would be proud to haul homebrew to a party with that.  And you got the different beer varieties in the correct glasses!  :cheers:
