  1. Ouch.    I cut my finger in early Nov. sharpening knives I was using to cut tomatoes.   Sorry to hear you have that many stitches.    When they removed the stitches, I found using Vit. E cream (I purchased it at Walmart) on the scar was helpful as it continued to heal and close up.

    Most any craft store will have ribbon in various widths and colors

    I love ribbons and love the idea of some scrape leather to attach the ribbon to so it slides into the opening for the spine if the Bible is hardback/leather/leather like.    Might I suggest using pinking shears to cut the ribbon to help with fraying or they make something called fray check (usually located in the sewing notions)

     

    Yin the Bible cover is beautiful

    My wife is a librarian. I was going to make some tooled leather bookmarks for gifts ( maybe I could manage this small a leather item). She said they would be too thick and damage the books. Anybody had success with these?

    I love the look of leather bookmarks, but they are usually too thick for my books, especially if it is a paperback book (those bindings are usually glue and the pages come out easily in my experience.)

     

     


  3. Welcome.  A wealth of knowledge and experience on this site in previous posts as well as current and new.  People are so generous with their Experience and knowledge.  Nice that you have some of your grandfather's leatherworking tools to carry on the craft.
