Chief31794 Report post Posted July 2, 2014 Been a while since I posted a Bible Cover, the customer on this one wanted the cross on the front and the hands on the back, I normally do them the other way. Chief Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rohn Report post Posted July 2, 2014 That is a beautiful Bible cover. I need to make myself a notebook with a zipper in it so I can carry my Bible and notes together. Hopefully I'll be able to get at it before too long. You certainly did f fine job on that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This little indian just does not possess your skill or patience, . . . really good looking. May God bless, Dwight Dwight, thanks. However, the name is not from a Native American Source in my case. It was my rank in the US Army, Chief Warrant Officer, in the Army we're affectionately (or not so affectionately) referred to as "Chief".

All4Christ Report post Posted July 7, 2014 Very nice work! The stamping really makes the overall appearance look pro. Question for you Chief. Are using tan kote or a stain of any kind. I'm working a bible cover right now where I would like to keep the majority of it in natural tan color with some dyed areas and antiqued. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colt W Knight Report post Posted July 7, 2014 Beautiful work. I have a question. Do you make your bible covers to fit a specific bible, or are most bibles a pretty standard size? I have two good friends who recently had their first baby, and I would like to make them a bible cover for the occasion. I don't know whether to go buy some bibles, or just make a cover and let them pick out the bible they like for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief31794 Report post Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Beautiful work. I have a question. Do you make your bible covers to fit a specific bible, or are most bibles a pretty standard size? I have two good friends who recently had their first baby, and I would like to make them a bible cover for the occasion. I don't know whether to go buy some bibles, or just make a cover and let them pick out the bible they like for it. When I started making them I thought they would be pretty much standard, I was wrong!!! I measure or have the customer measure the width and hight of the front cover and the thickness at the spine, i then add 1" for the height (1/2" on top and bottom), and 3/4" for each side (Total 1.5") plus 1/4 inch for the fold to the width of the cover X 2 plus the thickness. Hope that makes sense. It would be nice if they were all the same size then you could make them up and sell them at craft fairs, etc. but each one has to be custom measured or at least that's what I've found. To center the panels I make the border 1/2" from the top and bottom, 3/4" from each side and the width of the panel is the measurement of the cover. That leaves the panel centered and an area down the spine to put the Title. Hope that helps. I love your work by the way, your guitar straps are both unique and beautiful as well as your other work.
