Now, there aren’t too many people makin’ wallets with as much care as I do, so I thought I would share the process with y’all. Keep in mind this applies to every item in the shop:
Every morning I wake up and brew a pot of Cowboy Coffee, you know – the grainy type with a bit of grind still left in the cup. Sippin’ on this, I enter my workshop and pull out a large ‘side’ of raw, full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather. Usually a roll of about 24 square feet, of leather smellin’ goodness. From this roll I will plan out the day’s cuts, which pieces will be best used for wallets, and where the most interesting natural markings lay. Then the cutting and punching process begins, shaping the wallet down to the millimeter using a series of sharp knives and precision cutting tools.
