ryanww Report post Posted January 20, 2018 I've made a few journal covers with internal pockets and I've used thinner leather for the pockets and thicker for the cover itself. I have some 4-5 oz oil tanned leather that I'd like to use to make a portfolio and journal cover. The leather is probably too thick to use for the internal pockets, or is it? Do you skive the pocket pieces down? I only have a small skiver and haven't done large flat pieces before. Is there a different technique to make these pockets? Thanks for your help.
