The billfold on the right I made thirty years ago.
The one on the left I recently made with the same pattern.

Howdy
Back in the day the guy that carved your tombstone and the guy that tooled your saddle was the same guy. They were called stamp hands.
I worked as a stamp hand for some saddle makers, I was at onetime classified as a master leathersmith. I took an apprenticeship in tombstone carving just to get the feel of doing both like the old timers would've done. Anyway I don't want to talk your ears off or bore you into an early grave.
Oh yeah, and thanks for stopping in.
