This tutorial can serve as a strong foundational skill builder for anyone looking to step out of their comfort zone and tackle more technical leatherwork.
While this project may initially appear simple, it includes several challenging steps, particularly the step skive for the turned edges. By following this tutorial, you will create a precise and neat bank of three cards, laying the groundwork for applying these techniques to wallets with multiple banks of cards.
I’ve refined this method through many years of practice. Every leatherworker has their unique approach to making wallets, and this is mine. I have put a great deal of thought into this design: it offers a slim, delicate appearance and exceptional durability. The method I teach is logical and practical, and will allow you to take these skills and apply them to your other leatherwork.
