Back To World of Leathercraft's Featured Itemshttp://www.etsy.com/shop/WorldofLeathercraft------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is a handcrafted leather wallet. I cut out the shape, carved the design, and hand stitched it. No machines were used. Just me and my hampering cats in my little craft shop.This wallet was inspired by Star Trek and Mr. Spock. I sketched the Vulcan salute, then carved it into the leather. Once I cut the basic design, I used leather crafting tools to shape the curves and indentations for a 3D affect. In the lower corner are the letters LLAP which is an acronym for Live Long And Prosper.When you look at the back of the wallet, you will see the star fleet symbol I carved there and of course the World of Leathercraft logo.This men's wallet is large enough to carry a lot of cash, or in this economy slips of paper receipts, phone numbers, and notes to self. While the credit card slots are designed to easily slide your cards into and out of.Over time this wallet will take on a shape of its own and will be burnished by use whether you carry it in your hip pocket or shirt pocket. One thing about handmade leather is that it wears like iron!
