garypl Posted July 15, 2017 Report Posted July 15, 2017 I was surprised to learn the leather was so thick - what did you do to make it supple enough to bend and easily fold over to close the journal? Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

That's the weird thing. I didn't do anything to make it bend easier. Not too long ago I got a single shoulder that was 8 oz and I tried to make a journal out of it but even though I sanded it down a good bit it would not fold without major buckling. This print I got is about the same thickness but it is far more flexible so I didn't have to do any sanding and there is very little buckling when folded. I think it may have something to do with it being tooled. What do you think? Quote
