Wife Wanted A Bible Cover

Recommended Posts

My wife wanted a cover for an old family bible she takes to church with her. She wanted a place to store a pen and a place to keep the money she intended to put in the offering plate. Nuff Said, I've been happily married for 3 years (married for 41 just happy for 3), old joke. Anyway, I've survived because I don't argue with her and I don't say no (ever, ever, ever). I laid out a carving design with some roses from Al Stohlman's pictoral book "How to Carve Leather", and used a craftaid with the "praying hands and Cross" to fill in the center of the roses.

Love your design , but miss something on the edges of the leaves.

Yep, I never liked the pointed edges on the leaves. I've always converted them to smooth leaves, maybe I should start looking at going back to doing the edges. You must look at a lot of floral carvings.

Thanks,

Ken
