What I want to share with you here are the specific production steps.

At this time, you can officially start making the back and opening the lid. It is best to make a template before cutting the leather.

After the basic production is completed, use Apply pure heated beeswax to the leather. Be careful not to heat the beeswax for too long, otherwise it will damage the leather.
