knazim Report post Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone, I would like to present a Moleskine Notebook/Journal Cover with custom laser engraving. I use 3-4Oz vegetable tanned leather for the cover which is laser cut (profile and holes), laser engraved with a word cloud, hand stained and hand stitched. Its an effort to use technology and manual skill to produce a custom made product. We offer this on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/...k-leather-cover) Regards Khalid Edited November 5, 2012 by knazim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted November 5, 2012 Looks quite nice. Combined new technology with some traditional leather work. I think there are lots of opportunities to combine new tech and traditional. Some for mass production, and some for customized designs like your word cloud. Though I would tend towards what I think are more artistic designs. Each of us has a different opinion as to what we think of as being artistic.

Slider Report post Posted November 5, 2012 Nice how is that the elastic from the Moleskine if so how did you secure the book in the cover to make it available for use? Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knazim Report post Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks Tom for your comments. I am in awe of people who do these incredible tooling work. I am newbie in leather working and just started a few months ago. For the elastic on the moleskine cover, I have created a slot in the leather on the inside that allows the elastic to come out. Please check one of the pictures here (http://www.etsy.com/listing/98687678/moleskine-notebook-leather-cover) and you can see how I did it.
