the evolution of my long wallet it's 3 month old and starting to look nice .

I have leave it in the sun for about two days and oiled it maybe twice.

This is a whip my dad made in the 70's and he gave it to me ,i really love how it is braided .

ItsJustNC the bag and the belt are really beautiful ,the bag remind me of a school teacher bag or something ...i think i'm gonna make one for myself inspired by yours .

simontuntelder, OIL tanned leather are really nice to work with ....but like the blackgoat said it is very hard to get a good burnished edge ,

So when i use this kind of leather i prefer to cut the edge very clean and sand it a little, it gives a nice rugged look

I have already post this pic in there but this is a wallet i have made out of oil tanned leather

this is a new wallet i have made for myself ...and i need a way to attach a rein/chain so if someone got an idea i'd like to know.

HoustonChris I love how simple and clean your case look, what leather you use for that case ?

it is not hand dyed right?

Mid wallet redmoon inspired and braided rein.

nice work scasi !

I really love the design of the goliath v2 wallet .

Thats a new design of card holder i am working on ,this one is just a prototype and need a little more work .

Suggestions are welcome ,what should i keep or add /change .

Thank you![/img]

I have a circle cutter that I found in japan town at the $1.50 store, it's basically a compas with a blade instead of a pencil.

If you do it with a blade, cut 1/2 to 1/3 first time, then come back and cut through all the way. Then sand the edges. Thats how I solved it...

Heres a new wallet inspired by WWII bomber jackets-

Really nice wallet dude!

is this a patch or it is leather that you have painted?

thanks guys ...i went to the art store and bought a ''circle cutter'' like hobb & nill said but i can't cut any nice circle with it ,mabe i need some more pratice or it's because the cutter is made of plastic and does not stay straight while cutting.

hi guys i have a question ,i was wondering how to cut perfect leather circle to put under my conchos.

f50fan- if you want you can buy a starter kit from tandy leather factory there's small kit with everything you need to get started mallet,stamps,swivel knife,thread and needles and more .....thats what i started with and when your skills improved you just buy better quality tools.

These kits are really nice for practice cause there's some little projects like wallet ,key chain ,money clip...included

i dont know if you will understand my shitty english but take a look at tandyleatherfactory.com

veg-tan Belt clip and card holder/wallet set.

R.B. the wallet hold up the everyday use really well ,the stitching show no sign of wear, i think this wallet gonna last me a long time.

Really clean works hollows!

The leather you use looks beautiful and of really good quality .

here's the wallet i made for myself a few weeks ago .

R.B. the undyed/ natural set have not been treated ,I make it for a friend who dont know anything about leather and put some cheap spray shoe protector on , before i even have the time to tell him to oil it.

I'm curious to see the result ...will see when i meet him .

By the way the little belt loop/key holder got treated with aussie leather conditioner and sun tanned a bit , it age really well will post pics soon.

The little ''hat'' for the tool are pretty nice, i was wondering what to use to protect my tool, ..think i'm gonna make some of these.

Thats what i like about this thread it's very inspiring.

This is my first wallet ever made ,not original or fancy but i put alot of effort in it, please tell me what you think so i could improved my work .[/img][/img][/img]
