Time gets away and I should have said winter before last in my original post. Here is a picture of a belt I made for my tom boy oldest great grand daughter for her birthday that year. The different flowers are deliberate.

Fast forward three months and one for the next in line with blue eyes, hense the blue background. Her name is Bentley and when I found the Montana Silversmiths buckle it had to go on it. I had lost a little more rust.

 

 

 

That is very nice, bet he loved it.

She, not he for both. Thanks for the compliment.

This morning was able to finish the Front cover (Bronc Busting). It is still drying out and should lighten up the same as the back cover (bottom left).

Will Tan-Cote them and start assembly. Pretty excited to see it together. Gini thinks it needs to be hand stitched, would be easier with a machine. The marks ever so slight would detract from it, so she is right again.

The leathers are different tones because the front and back cover are Herman Oak (love) and lighter are Tandy. Tandy was on sale for a real good price and carves well so purchased a number if sides.

Finished the cover this morning, now to start using it and letting it ag and add character.

That's cool, I was curious to see how the sections were gonna be combined into final notebook cover.  I like it.  I want to make (at some point) a leather cover for my range book when I've working out reloading powder charges.  Something along these lines would work well.
