Equiplay Saddlery Report post Posted June 13, 2017 This is the first time I've done any kind of book cover. My Bible was looking a little ragged so I made this last week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjartist Report post Posted June 13, 2017 Very Nice. I am currently working on my second ever notebook cover. For a project that looks so straight forward, these sure can be tricky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Equiplay Saddlery Report post Posted June 14, 2017 Thanks. I definitely learned a lot making it but I like the way it turned out so I know I'll be making more similar projects. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted June 14, 2017 very nice work and the natural color really looks good. Only suggestion would be to move the oval with the initial? up an inch or so so it's not hidden by the buckle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Equiplay Saddlery Report post Posted June 14, 2017 That's actually my brand that I had made into a stamp. My original plan for the clasp was different and wouldn't have covered the brand but I changed my mind after the tooling. :-). Since I was making it for me and as a prototype I wasn't overly concerned about hiding the brand. I agree with you though that it should have been moved up or down instead of centered with that kind of buckle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted June 14, 2017 Ahh okay was hard to make out so wasn't sure if it was a brand or your initial or what it was. I've made changes midway through a build as well and sometimes you have to and be damned the tooling you already have done Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plinkercases Report post Posted June 14, 2017 What a nice way to carry the Word. I have been meaning to cover mine for years and hope to get to it this summer on my holidays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clintock Report post Posted June 14, 2017 Looks nice. What oz leather did you use? My wife has been asking me to make her one. I keep putting it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Equiplay Saddlery Report post Posted June 14, 2017 I used 6 ounce Wickett and Craig calf tooling. I've used it on several projects and it's always been really nice leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
