I’m am subscribed to leather crafters & saddlers journal and just recently found the rawhide gazette. Are there any other sites or journals likes them? Rawhide gazette give a lot of there journals with no subscription unless you want “members only “ articles. I’m leaning toward finding somthing similar to the gazette .

In this listing, as I close my leathercrafting adventure, I will list periodicals that we all enjoy. I'm sure that you are all aware of what they look like so have decided that the task of taking pics was more than I could do at the moment. I have the books in small packs and have decided that $2.00 per issue is a fair price so whatever pack you take, will be $2.00 per issue plus shipping via media mail or any other way you prefer to have them shipped.

hello All! My name is Mark Rowney. I have been working and carving leather for 25 years now. I am self taught and still learning. I am passionate about Contemporary rural Art and endeavour to combine my enthusiasm for leather work and evoke my love of nature. I primarily make bespoke leather journal covers and some other original and one-off items. I also paint and sell enough to enable me to buy new hides, JUST! I live and work in the Durham dales, Northern England. My influences are the Bees that sting me, the Midges that bite me and the birds that sing so sweetly. My goal is to understand my soul that I may best illustrate a wonderful life spent in the high meadows and hay fields that surround our old stone farmhouse. I look forward to meeting and hearing from the fellow leather workers that share this imaginative site. As William Morris said...."One should only own what is truly useful or beautiful". I hope you find enjoyment in my work. http://www.rowneyart.com http://rowneyart.blogspot.com

Howdy folks, I just had a quick question, hopefully I can get some help from some more experienced folks. I am in the process of making book covers: journals, scout handbooks, bibles, etc.... However I seem to be cutting my material way too short and it creates a really tight fit or almost ruins the book. I'm curious, is there a standard/guideline dimension beyond that of the book I should go to? I just don't want my covers to be too big for the book to make it look out of proportion. I'm using 3-4 oz leather. Should I make it 1/2" longer/wider?.... 1/4"? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. ~Blue Skies
