mendedbowl Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 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, ken Quote
David Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) 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. Dave Edited October 19, 2008 by David Quote

Colman Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 David, That is some really nice work on both the address book and pen! You are going to have to add another link on your website for everything other than seats. Johnny Quote Endeavor to perceiver.
