A truck driver friend asked me to build a binder to keep his registration and paperwork in.  He wanted his brand on the front cover and let me come up with the rest.  Here is what I came up with.  I used 6/7 oz for the cover and lined it with 2/3 oz. I used some thin chrome tan, I had left from a purse I made, for the overlay and the inner pockets.  I used the rings out of a plastic binder and used the plastic from it as a stiffener in between the cover and the liner. Then I used twisted poly Maine Thread to hand sew it together.  It is finished with neatsfoot oil and leather balm whit atom wax. My liner got a little bunched up by the rings when I folded it but other wise it turned out good. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
