DavidKManuel Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Hello all, My name is David K. Manuel. I am a first time poster here and want to share what I've been up to with leather recently. This one is a project I did as a gift to myself over the Thanksgiving holiday break. I had fun with this one and learned a few things. I look forward to being inspired by this community as well as learning many new things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DavidKManuel Report post Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks for the greetings! And yes you should steal the idea, that's what I did! I saw it on a notebook cover from american benchcraft here http://store.americanbenchcraft.com/field-journal/. It is on their 'Protoshop' section and is listed as unavailable for purchase. I found that the soft, very textured flesh side of the bison hide grips the pencil perfectly with no slipping, yet it is easy to remove and replace. All around thanks for the warmth. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
