The challenges of working with such a dense material. Well done Justin! Minimalist really seems the only way when the complete wallet is crafted from Shell Cordovan. In leu of installing a lining, I think I'll simply dye the underside and slick burnish when it's my turn at bat. From Rocado I'll try the Lava Red for the shell. Cheers! 😉🍺👍

It’s good to let the leather speak for itself when working with Shell. I thought about polishing the interior but I like the rawness of the underside. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

First class👍. Is there any difference in edge polishing before or after sewing?

[@NorfolkHandmade]

Yes, always edge finish after stitching. The process of stitching and hammer can impact the edge so it’s always best to to the edge finishing last.

Do you use the marker pen with Tokonole?

[@NorfolkHandmade]

Yes, 50/50 Tokonole and water.

[@brucelutz5699]

so you cut the tokonole so its thinner?

[@NorfolkHandmade]

For sure, 50/50 is the mix I use.
