Members Keebz Posted July 29, 2015 Members Report Posted July 29, 2015 My wife wants me to wrap and line one of these for her in leather I've never done it before and was wondering if anyone could help me out on the process. How do I get the leather around the corners without it creasing? I would really appreciate it. Thanks Quote
Members DavidL Posted July 29, 2015 Members Report Posted July 29, 2015 skive it thin or buy it pre skived. .3mm or lower. Quote
Members Keebz Posted July 29, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 29, 2015 Ok thank you. Then do I kinda stretch and glue it in place? Could you point me in the right direction of where I can buy preskived leather? Quote
Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted July 29, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted July 29, 2015 I would be curious how to do this too. Do you need to remove the decorative trim around the edges to secure the leather beneath them? Springfield Leather probably can provide the leather you need. What kind of leather are you looking to use? Will it need to be tooled? Quote
Members Keebz Posted July 29, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 29, 2015 yes the black plastic pieces come away from the frame. My wife wants it so I was looking for something chic Quote
Members DavidL Posted July 29, 2015 Members Report Posted July 29, 2015 I've never covered a case like that. I do know you need to use thin leather around the .3mm or lower goatskin or calfskin chrome tan from a bookbinding supply store. Quote
Members Keebz Posted July 29, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 29, 2015 me either i seen them on etsy though so I kow its possible to get them covered without folds and creases on the corners Quote
