SURPRISE!

Guess who else has been an incredible supporter of this challenge!

No matter where it is located the purpose of a lighthouse is always the same; to warn ships of danger and guide them safely on their way. The world’s first recorded lighthouse was the Pharos Lighthouse in Alexandria, Egypt. This lighthouse may not be in Egypt but the light shining from the infamous in Australia! The light from his edges has watched over the waves made from this . I’d like to introduce to you not only a sponsor for this challenge but also a surprise judge! He will be picking his favorite Wedge Wallet and the prize will be one of his very own Astragal wallets.

Thank you so much Alex for supporting and wanting to be a part of this challenge and a huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored this challenge as well as participated this far in making your own wedge wallets. I am completely amazed at all of your support and show of love for what I’ve tried to accomplish through this challenge. The leathercraft community is truly incredible and you all have proven that during these last few weeks.

Another one of the incredible sponsors for the Wedge challenge is the incredible man behind . I personally have 2 of his skiving knives and when I do any skiving I will never hesitate to use one of the masterpieces I have from him. They are razor sharp and absolutely incredible. This skiving knife is one of the Paracord wrapped Geisler skiving knives and it is perfect for all of your skiving needs.
A huge thank you to again for being a part of this challenge and supplying this knife.
