Don't get much call for these in the past few years. But got this one, made from Hermann Oak (c) 4/5 oz with Faille Cloth Lining.

Really nice Chief!  Your lacing looks great as always.  How do you bond the cloth lining to the leather?

There are always possibilities....

Bob, I use #77 super strength contact adhesive spray for this, used to use Master's Contact Cement which is what I use for everything except Faille Cloth and that's because if you're not very careful it will "bleed" through the cloth.  The spray works really well.

This is very nice. Making my own is still behind some other customer projects but you just reminded me perhaps my God should come first! Perhaps this weekend,

Very nice!

When I went up to Tandy for some midsole leather they handed me their master catalog and it has some beautiful tooling on the front cover and I started dreaming about making a Bible cover. My Bible's leather is breaking at the hinges. I bought it back in 1990 and it's just worn out. I need to protect it.
