Thanks, Retswerb. I used Fiebings pro dye. 50/50 mahagony / saddle tan -
I use 5-6 oz leather that is pretty soft. When I unroll it, I roll it the opposite direction then back again and it lays flat. I'm not sure about using heavier or stiffer leather. Mark

Thanks, I'm still a rookie, I need to learn how to make my beveling look good so it'll make my objects stand out more. When friends ask me to make something, my confidence isn't high enough yet to try it on theirs. -
Here's another notebook I made for a Co worker.

Thanks Chuck, hang in there you'll get it.I'm pretty new at leather work, I started last July. I timmed my self on this last one, it took me just over 10 hours from start to finish. Making the checkers and stiching is what took me so long. Lol. The checkers is two 5 to 6 oz pieces glued together.

Hi I'm Mark from Floyd,Va. I'm a ups truck driver by trade, leather work as a hobby. I started doing leather work about 8 months ago because I eventually want to make handmade knives and want to he able to make my own knife sheaths. I made some Christmas presents for family members ( to practice on) Lol! I've posted a few below.

I know this is a long time since the original post, but I've only been doing leather work for about 6 months and just found this web site. Here are a couple of the first things that I made for my daughters as a Christmas gift.
