Nevesola Report post Posted December 26, 2014 This is my very first leather working project, a set of book covers for the Harry Potter books. It took me roughly 50 hours over 3 months - Lots of time lost to learning curve and having to acquire the tools necessary as I needed them. There's a lot I would do different, but I'm pretty proud of how they turned out. I've got the process more or less documented(I started documenting it in the middle of the project) over here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pounder Report post Posted December 27, 2014 Very nice, definitely make them a custom collectors item, not that you would ever get rid of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

takitty007 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 Those are gorgeous! What are you planning on doing with them? Just for your own display or for someone else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevesola Report post Posted December 29, 2014 I made them for my Wife for Christmas. Growing up, her grandmother read her the stories each night so they were a big part of her childhood. Her grandmother passed away about two years ago, and we didn't have our own set of the books yet so I thought I would make them something special. There were many (happy) tears Christmas morning!

hobbihorse Report post Posted December 30, 2014 What a thoughtful gift to your wife. These will become a treasured hierloom. I really like how you laced the corners...I'm not fond of double loop lacing, but your treatment on the corners is awesome! Well done.

sorenhume Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Oh wow. I saw your post on Reddit last year before Christmas. I'm now over $400 into this amazing hobby, it's changed my life, turned me into a maker, My girlfriend loves me smelling of leather, I've even lost weight! I just wanted to say thank you, your art was the spark I needed, and that is invaluable to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
