Sheridan Journal Cover

[Rolandranch]

Howdy guys and gals.

One of my friends asked me to make this journal for his Christmas gift to his girlfriend. The leather is 8/9 oz. European single bend from Tandy.

Let me know what you think. Critique and comments are always welcome.

(Note the screwdriver petal lifter in the second pic. I got the idea from YinTx in his post.)

I like it.  I'm sure Jana will too.

Wow, you are rockin' the Roland Ranch! Nice work. I believe this will get you some more work, and soon.

Looking great!

your carving and stamping skills are coming on well. 

Did you sew it with a machine?

Yes, I used my Cowboy 4500 with #138 bonded nylon thread.

That looks like it came out pretty well!  Can you take a close up of the leaves where you used that petal lifter?  I am curious if the shape of your lifter made a difference on the end result...
