This goes to the widow of my best friend in high school. She wanted a nice address book so I made this and a pen for her.

very impressive work!! what a wonderful gift.

from your pictures it looks like you had already folded it for the spine before carving...make i ask your process for that? did you groove the other side, and wet it before folding? any help would be appreciated much.

thanks,

Thanks all,

The inside of the leather was grooved to be folded before the tooling was done, I didn't actually fold it until I was nearly done.... I had to wet it a bit to make sure it would close all the way. The inside of the note book is a kip lining about 1oz or so. It is a 6 ring binder .... so it is like the kits that Tandy makes.

Yeah, I made the pen too. I've been pen turning for a couple years. I love the look of different woods combined to make the pens. This one is paduk (dark orange), malee (birdseye grain), and dyed blue curly maple.
