Just finished this afternoon. Still taking photos and writing up the stuff to submit to the catalog. This was a single piece of black Proofgrade leather that I won in a drawing…which I believe was going to be offered in the shop, but it never came about. Too bad…it’s very fine stuff. I have no idea why they pulled it back.
Side note, I also got some of that leather, but Glowforge told me they had determined it wasn’t safe so not to use it. ??? CORRECTION. Glowforge said it wasn’t printing as they expected. They didn’t say it was unsafe. I dug through my email and found their notice.
Well…hmmm. I don’t know what they expected, but it worked just fine for me. It still picked up the barcode for the settings. I even looked in the shop before posting this to make sure… because I had not bought any leather from GF in a long time so didn’t want to mistate the facts.
I hope it gets in the catalog soon! I need something like that to hold all of my credit cards. My current holder won’t clasp if it has more than 10 cards in it. Hmm…maybe I shouldn’t have so many cards! But that turned out awesome. Great job!
I wonder if those high-end people come up with their designs the same way I did…by accident. It was a text letter that when tweaked became the clasp. Ha ha!
I too received one of those test pieces of leather - mine is a gorgeous coffee brown color, my sister would love. She can do the sewing… so I hope your design gets accepted!
