Notebook Cover

Very nice. The tooling looks great. I've always liked a more mellow back ground, the black is too harsh for me but the execution of the design and the qualty of the back ground staining is excellent! I like the hair on pocket, adds some class but my only concern would be how will it wear? The stiching is nice and even and for the most part very striaght, you do that on a machine or is it hand stiched? Great idea with the seat folding trick.

I make old fashion style lined spur straps and usually tool the strap and then before the strap dries fully (slightly damp) then dampen, mold and stich the lining on, trim and edge both pieces. You can't make them straighten out if you wanted to. ( Not good for a note book though.) Anyway they stay put on yer boots without dangerous heel chains and are less likely to foul when riding. Maybe I'll check the cab of my Dodge for a good spot to fold or form some leather!
