what product do you recommend for maintenance on your shell cordovan wallet?

I’ve owned this wallet for about a year now. I can’t even describe how incredible it is. Straight masterpiece. If you’re on the fence, buy it. I’m convinced I’ll have it for the next 50 years if I make it that long

[@strhandmade]

Thank you very much for your feedback! Im very happy to hear that from my customers🐗

[@rainmakerka]

Love it! And the trick with the vacuum cleaner when you polish the edges - ingenious! :) Thank you :)

[@strhandmade]

Happy to help!

[@mitchblackmore5230]

I loved this video. Just enough detail shown without things being repetitive. Gorgeous wallet even though I'm not a fan of bi-folds personally.

Working with shell cordovan is something else, huh? It's epic to burnish.

[@deej9367]

buttero is amazing stuff

Great video, excellent craftmanship. Would you happen to know if a Dremel Stylo would do the job that your tool does? Wondering if I should trade it in for another model.

Hello! May I ask you about T-pockets? I would be grateful if you could share your experience. 1. What's the preferable inter space between the edge and punch holes? 2. The width of the "wing" of a T-pocket (from the edge to the body of the T-pocket, on both sides)?

[@I_Sudo_I]

Awesome video man that is one sweet wallet. I was wondering where you got the press dies from? And seeing someone use them with an arbor press saves me a lot of money since I'm just starting out. Such awesome work thanks for the lesson. Cheers.

[@strhandmade]

You can find on aliexpress sellers can make custom dies by your sketch.

Hello! I loved this video - plain and simple! May I ask you what thread do use (thickness, flat or round, manufacturer)? Thank you in advance.

Beautiful pice. Great job. I just have one question, why use Saddle Soap for your edges? Keep it up and thank you for sharing your art with us all.

[@strhandmade]

Thanks! Im mixing water with saddle soap for more slippery, i find out it works better for my with wood burnisher.

Nice. Any recommendations for a press cutter?

[@sewingfactory7053]

It is is luxury one!

[@crypto_pinto2660]

What leather are you working with please? I watched one of Nigel Armitage videos about not using a stitch Groove because the thread will still sit below the leather if you give it the right tension and since then I have yet to put a stitch Groove in my work what a relief. There's a thousand ways to skin a pig right?
