ScoobyNewbie Report post Posted August 10, 2018 I would think 4-5 oz, maybe lighter, depending on how soft you want the cover to be. If you want a firm, solid cover, then use heavier. If you want a cover that you can fold and sew to fit, that may not be as solid, but will be softer to the touch, go lighter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YinTx Report post Posted August 10, 2018 I've used 5 oz up to 7 oz. Both are pretty heavy for a small bible, I would think a 4 to 5 oz leather would do well, especially if you have a liner leather on the inside. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stetson912 Report post Posted August 10, 2018 I agree, 4/5 oz would be a decent weight for a cover. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
