Cool wallet, great design. I like that pull up leather, it always looks gorgeous. Suggestions however. You might consider using a burnishing agent like Tokonole on the inside of the wallet before assembly. And what I found out, is if you burnish the edges first, the dye will be absorbed easier and won't bleed. I've been doing leathercraft for only a few years, but I learned a lot from making many projects. Subbed. Thanks for your efforts.
You are right, but chrome tanned leather (Crazy Horse) is difficult to process the edge, it is not vegetable tanned leather, in which even after water the edge looks finished. Sometimes it’s faster to just paint the edge and it won’t look bad. Thank you for your feedback and good luck in your work!
