Members Danne Posted January 20, 2022 Members Report Posted January 20, 2022 Took some photos during the making of a wallet. So thought I share it here. Feel free to ask questions, or give critique. Parts cut and ready to be skived. Card pockets edge painted and creased (Regad FN2) Pocket sections assembled and lined and ready to be trimmed. Trimmed Pocket sections and finished lined exterior ready to be assembled. Top of exterior stitched. Stitching card sections in place. Exterior edges creased (Dupin G1) and ready to be edge painted. First layer of edge coat applied and drying. Waiting for the edge paint to dry and then heat, sand and repeat five/six times before melting wax to edges and polish. And some cleaning and it's finished. Quote

Real high quality vegetable tanned leather. Used to be supplier to Hermès and Louis Vuitton. Don't quote me on this, but I think Hermès and LVMH tried to push down the prices too much, and I get that in a way because supplying big fashion houses is good for your brand (The tannery in this case) But also today both Hermès and LVMH own a lot of the tanneries that produce their leather. Why do I like this leather? I really like the semi-aniline finish. It gets a patina, but not as extreme as a pure aniline leather. Quote

Expand Thank you, On this wallet I "stabbed/punched" out the top of the pockets shape with a Japanese skiving knife, and cut the rest with a snap-off knife. (Olfa SAC-1) Quote
