What do you need doming tools for?

[ItsJustNC]

Gonna try my hands on some metal working.!

[lazybum]

Bout time I replaced my wallet

Marijuana themed mid wallet. Influenced by native American and tribal themes.

Marijuana leaf symbol stitching

Brass and sterling silver marijuana leaf concho

Solid brass ring, distressed by hand

[hollowsleather]

Still amazing in this thread too. Nicely one.

[simontuntelder]

I may find the marijuana reference just slightly tacky, however the craftsmanship is just sublime. Very nice work, Lazybum!

[raWorkshop]

Would any of you be interested in buying some snaps?

If they'll work with basic CS Osborne stuff then I could be down.

In a similar vein, check out this old French rivet press!

lazybum, stunning!

[TheBlackGoat]

lazybum!

hands down one of the nicest wallets i have seen posted in a long time!

yes, simon is right about the concho, but to each their own.

love the decorative stitching, and over all design.

what brand of veg tan are you using?

looks like some decent quality stuff.

[lazybum]

Thanks for the kind words guys. I haven't done a large project for myself in a long time, so I decided I should do it at least decently this time.

Yeah it would have been great if the concho did not have those colored inlays. I saw it while I was in the middle of making the wallet, and sort of bought it on impulse as it complemented the marijuana leaf symbols that I had been using on my own stuff recently.

To be honest the decorative stitching on the front could have been better. I screwed up the bottom curve a bit.

I use veg tanned from Wickett and Craig. Great tannery, nice leather, awesome service.

[TheBlackGoat]

Wicket & craig! Best veg tan imho!

[unlucky]

Wicket and Crag is great leather but Herman Oak isn't bad either. Here's a front quarter horsehide tote I just did with Herman Oak lining.

[hollowsleather]

JoeySullivan's wax arrived the other day, I give it a thumbs up!

[JoeySullivan]

glad you likes it hollows !!

[corter]

redesigned my card holder a bit, and started working on a drink coozie design

[JAW]

Dude! The Coozie rules. Great idea.

[raWorkshop]

The split lining was not intentional. I cut the lining too long but didn't realize until I had set the card pockets. Lots of learning on this one. My hands hurt.

[simontuntelder]

I decided to have a maker's stamp - or rather two - made - and I can't say, I have had any regrets

The final Field Notes sleeve design. Feels good to have all the measurements and everything done!

Then a bit more of the same ol' stuff, still so fun to make

[corter]

[CMCiA]

Great idea for a 2 tone bifold!

[JAW]

Been doing a little tooling lately, its super fun, but also super hard. I have been inheriting old leather tools from random old dudes who did it in the 70s and stuff, and ended up with a bunch of stamps. I have tons of respect for those who have mastered this art form. A friend of mine wanted a card holder for her business cards, so this is my first actual tooled piece. I would like to get a little more contrast (the picture actually makes it look like it has LESS contrast than in real life) by dying the back round but I don't really understand the process, gonna have to crack open leatherworker.net for some knowledge.

Given as a gift...

[thecolosseum]

Hi SUFU, I have a question...Where can I get Horween leather? also if this is not possible where is a good place to buy leather besides Tandy leathers? any help much appreciated.

[madstaxbro]

^Like JAW mentioned above leatherworker.net is a great resource for finding leather, hardware, and criticism. I've only ordered from Springfield and Maverick but they've great selections and Mav has a few Horween leathers stocked.
