Mike,

The Leather Craftsman was one of the former names of what is now the Leather Crafters and Saddlers Journal. I think they have copyright on all the old magazines. Maybe they also printed copies of the book you are referring too? You might send an email off to the Journal and find out from them if they have that copyright and if they do, give you permission to make a copy.

Thanks, I will.

You might want to consider browsing the Free Pattern section of the Tandy Leather Factory Website. Although it may not be exactly what you are looking for, there are lots of free patterns in PDF format and one may have something that will fit the bill.

Oh well thanks anyway Mike. If you do find that you are able to post at least the bottom 1/4 let me know. I just realized why I liked it so much, I had taken a class from Paul Burnett on Victorian style carving and with the lesson that he sells you carve a pattern similar to yours. You might look at his lesson #1. I have used his pattern for an album cover and a bag flap and I really like the style. It works for me on thicker leather and once you learn his "tricks" it is easier than it looked like was going to be. Can you post the ISBN number so that i may search fro my own copy?
