This design have the base leather offset from the edge. It also use a softer leather (Cow Veg Tan belly). The strap use a thicker leather which is about the same thickness of the key ring.

Share some tips and best practice.

Key ring with strap cut to shape

of ring. Note try use the same

thickness key ring to leather for

strap.

Use a scrap leather to raise height
when cut "drain" line. This to minimize
uneven pressure at edge.

Use bamboo chop stick to hold soft leather edge ,make it easier for burnishing work.

Use S/S ruler and insert in between leather piece. To allow us to concentrate on other side to attach leather piece first.
