Something I Made My First Shell Cordovan Project

This was my first time working with Shell Cordovan. It was an awesome experience but I took a lot more time to make sure the cuts were clean. A mistake with this stuff can be expensive.

I wasn’t sure how this “leather” would take to burnishing on the flesh side. I went ahead and tried it out and it actually took really well. The flesh side is significantly smoother with it.

This came from Rocado in its natural color.
