Oh man fuck yeah!

The I use the satschip to make my own signing devices. Can't be backed up like the tapsigner tho.

I love the engraved genesis block. I never did one like that.

I'm gonna need someone for the wallet department in a few years 🤙 (or maybe sooner)

Can I know what leather you used?

This is natural grain leather from TanneryNYC. I think it’s chrome tanned so you’re not technically supposed to laser engrave it, but it still comes out crisp.

Chrome is harder to work with. I lobe this texture on it tho.

100%

Definitely some painstaking hours put in on this piece, but so worth it for the result

If I can allow myself, one thing I would add is some white edge paint on the edges. I think 3 coats would look fantastic.

Or maybe even orange paint 👀

It’s hard to see, but the ₿ swoosh and the pockets have one coat of white edge paint (I’ll probably do a min 3 coats in the future). The overall border of the wallet has 8 coats, sanded in between each coat!!
