Bible And Notebook Covers

[Murray]

Hey all,

Here are some projects I finished recently.

The two bible covers are for a friends son who is headed to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. One cover features the official Dept of the Navy seal and the other the revered USN Anchor.

The other (photo collage) is of two notebook covers. A fathers day gift.

Thanks for checking them out - enjoy.

beautiful work...you are an artist...sure wish i could carve like that...any chance you have a template for the notebook cover, i have a friend that wants me to make her one and i can't figure it out.

[Murray]

No template... sorry. I kinda drew it up and cut it out. I could walk you through it if you like, send me a message.

By the way Tkirwin, Thank you very much, I appreciate the compliment.

Thanks to you as well Benlilly.

It was challenging and fun at the same time.

Hey Murray,

I was looking for a way of putting a scripture onto a bible cover for a friend and have just seen your excellent swivel knife work.

Really stunning work.

I am working on getting my carving more refined and it is work like this that sets a great bench mark.

Also love the way you incorporate the swivel knife cuts and the emblem to get the fine chain work to stand out.

You've opened my eyes to many possibilities.

Gotta go practice now

Thanks

Alex

Wow,

Thanks Alex, I'm humbled by your words. I wish you the best of luck in your design work. If ever I can help out, please feel free to ask. I'm no pro, but what I know I will gladly share.

Thanks again

Murray
