Ah. That sounds great! Thank you guys. I've been looking for a way to buy some scrap leather for some 5.5" by 8.5" notebook covers. This sounds like a pretty decent way to pick up some extra leather, especially for a newbie leatherworker like myself.

Thank you all so much! The molding and neatsfoot oil recommendations were great!

Has anyone ordered "Gambler's Choice" leather from Springfield Leather? Did you get a product relatively close to what you asked for? I'm asking this while fully realizing the "gambler" part of the deal alongside the low price of the deal.

Hello all, this is my first post here. I've been lurking for a while and I decided to get onto my first leather project. I'm making a leather journal out of 4 to 5 oz leather. I cased then tooled, dyed, oiled with with neatsfoot, and then finished with resolene. When I folded my leather to turn the leather sheet into a cover, the spine seemed to wrinkle and crack. Is there any way to minimize wrinkling along leather folds? Would molding the leather piece into a bookcover shape prior to tooling and dyeing help?
