Looking forward to seeing this Shane, his work looks extremely good.

I can't wait to see how your wallet turns out. I'm a big fan of Ray's work. So much so that I have about 5 wallets from him (including a Revelator).
Here is one called The Watcher:
This is my very first wallet from him - a clean, simple billfold:

This is a custom Apocrypha using my MBB cutoffs as inlays:
This is my Revelator sticking out of my back pocket:
From Ray's Instagram (he's a better photographer):
There's more, but I'm sure you get the idea. Ray makes quality stuff, and his designs keep getting better.

Great stuff, but this one looks to have a loose grain to the leather.

Since I'm not an expert on leather, I couldn't explain how or why the grain is so irregular. I know that I loved it since I saw Ray making pieces with a similar grain in black. I do remember it is a British Horsehide Bridle. The interior is burgundy harness. I think (don't quote me) that it is similar, if not the same, as this leather:

I'm sure if you ask Ray, he'd be able to tell you more about it. All I can tell you is that it's awesome. The gnarly grain and scar-like marks are one of the features that sold me to it in the first place. My wife's clutch is made of a bridle horse exterior with a similar grain pattern in brown.

Those all look great man. I can't wait for mine. I'll post tons of pics.
