I've always wanted...

...an Italian Buttero leather wallet.

So, I made one! Certainly far from perfect, but fully functional and not too bad for a first wallet and the second time I made anything from leather.

The next one will be better.

^ Nice job R Retired Spook ! That is much better quality than I saw at the fancy leather shops in Florence Italy last year. Please keep posting photos of your next projects.

You did a truly amazing job partner! Your stitching, your edges and the overall fit and finish are professional class. Well done sir. I have made many, many wallets but I would love to have that one.

Thank you, sir. That means a lot coming from someone who has made as many wallets as you have.

I can already see things I'd like to improve—the consistency of the stitching, the edge work, the component cutting, and overall refinement. Every project teaches me something, and this one certainly did. My goal is for the next wallet to be noticeably better than this one, and the one after that, better still.

I appreciate the encouragement and the kind words.
