Members Stevesleather Posted October 2, 2009 Members Report Posted October 2, 2009 I just finished the tooling, staining, and I still have to finish the stitching on a set of three checkbook covers....I think I used too thick a leather...the leather doesn't want to fold right....

Members Storm Posted October 2, 2009 Members Report Posted October 2, 2009 Suggestion...Gouge out a fold line and the maybe line the cover. That might help you with the folding. I like using 4-5 oz but just depends on the leather. Quote Please keep in mind that unless I ask for anyones critique I do not want nor require same.
carr52 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 I agree with Storm about the 4-5 oz leather. I like to use a lighter weight for the cover and then line it. I really like the colors. Every time I try to color something it comes out funky. Oh well I guess I'll just keep practicing. Nice job. Tom Quote
