lederfun Report post Posted May 11, 2014 Looks great! Matches my taste perfectly! What kind of leather did you use? Looks like you used elastics to hold the nook in place. Is that correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted May 11, 2014 It is made from about 5 oz veg tan, lined with pig there is a stiffener in the back, made from X-ray film. The corner straps are elastic, it took me a few tries to get the placement of the slots correct. The cat is embossed with a printing block, pressed in. Background is a Bob Beard background tool. Hope this pic is clearer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clintsdivco Report post Posted May 12, 2014 That looks good Aaron. Very different. Never thought of imprinting like that in leather, do you use some sort of press? I'll be coming back to the Portland area again in July and staying until September, I'll have to look you up again. Clint Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted May 12, 2014 It is pushed in with a book press. You can use a clamp and two blocks on smaller ones. If you are going to be in Portland for September you could go to the Bob Beard class. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to leave the Portland area by Sept, 3rd so looks like I will miss the Bob Beard class. Wish I could stay longer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
