What a professional tutorial. I felt like I was in a design class with a really knowledgeable professor. Thank you so much.

I think a stingray purse or belt pouch would be awesome, and use the eye holes to thread a strap through to fasten it closed.

Thanks for sharing the information on the video, very informative. What I thought it was snake skin it was acutely crocodile skin. Amazing what you can learn from others who are willing to share. I wish you a lot of success in your future videos!

High quality. When you own a stingray wallet, it can last as long as a Louis Vuitton wallet but at a much cheaper price.

King toad and snapping turtle leather on boots are by far my favorites.

I have an ostrich leg that I purchased about a year ago, I wasn't sure how I was going to use it. I was worried about whether it needed backing and if the edges would burnish. You covered all of my concerns. Thank you for this wonderful video. I just subscribed to your channel.

Hi, would like to ask, im planning on customing an exotic bifold wallet, but my options are either getting ostrich leg leather bi fold or lizard leather bi fold. Would like to ask for ur opinion.

1. Which will last longer?
2. Which is more durable?
3. Which need to be less taken care off?

Thank you, you make awesome videos🙏🏻
