First Attempts At Bible Covers

Recommended Posts

Here are my first attempts at bible covers, I did not read the one bottle correct and I thought it was a stain not dye.

I am very new to this and feedback on how I can do better is welcome.

Pretty fair job for doing new stuff. Two things stand out. Bevelling is choppy. Either was still too wet, or need more practice to get it smoothed out. Can run over it with a modelling spoon to smooth it out. Second item is the raw edges of the leather needs to be burnished. See http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=18101 for a tutorial.

Keep working at it. Practice makes perfect.

And, welcome to the forum!
