Oak Leaf Notebook

[Bob Blea]

This was a 5x8 notebook I made recently. It was for a gentleman that had recently received a promotion at work, and his wife wanted to surprise him with a personalized notebook. She wanted an Oak leaf design that incorporated his initials. It was a bit of a rush because he works away from home for long periods of time and she wanted to give it to him the next time he came home. Fortunately I was able to get it finished and sent to her in time though it took a night with almost no sleep to finish the lacing. Both she and her husband loved it! It's nice when you get that kind of feedback.

Thanks all, I like carving oak leaves too. I should do it more often but seems like I only do it when a customer requests it. But I've got two notebooks on order now that are oak leave carvings, so I'm going to get more practice.

Nice carving,and your bargrounding really sets it off.Your brown color initials tie in with everything.
