  1. Well done Kho! You can bevel and burnish the edges to give it a cleaner more finished look. I recommend reducing the weight of the leather to something more like 3-4oz, that leather looks a little thick and makes it harder to work with. If you have the money to spring for some higher quality leather than do it; I just bought a whole side of this Royal Meadow Oak and the leather is practically flawless (no range/tick/branding marks, with minimal wrinkles/veins, it is gorgeous stuff).

    I actually like the look of using a rotary punch for the stitching holes, did you opt to do so because of the leather thickness? In one pic it looks like youre going through 4 layers of 5-6oz or 6-7oz stuff. It looks like you reinforced the bending areas by doubling up the stitching, if so, nice attention and forethought to functionality/detail. Great job man, I can't wait to finish some things I've been working on myself.

    Thanks for your advice Optima. I am using 4oz leather it just looks that way because i used two sheets of leather for the outside so that it stays together more and makes it a bit harder. This leather is pretty much what i was looking for i like the look of it.

    I've seen your stuff also great work ;)

    I am also making a few more as we speak. So if anyone wants one feel free to message me and ill probably get back to you within minutes. Its a free day for me today so ill probably be working on the wallets and checking my sufu every few minutes.
