Two quick ideas on the edges. If you can find one at a Tandy store, an edge beveler will round off the edges and give it a smoother finish.
One thing I've found that works great for slicking the edges is a piece of canvas or denim, with a little saddle soap. Wet the edge of the leather, then get a dab of saddle soap on the canvas and rub a number of times in one direction. Once it starts to smooth out, rub it quickly back and forth to burnish it. You'll be amazed at how nice and shiny and professional looking your edge will be.
I love the clan shield on the front. Great job!
