Custom Book Cover

[JBryan]

Hi everyone,

I have recently begun leather working and have found myself being asked to make some book covers.  I would appreciate any feedback/critiques any of you have. I would like to get better at the craft and any tips and feedback you guys and gals could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I like them.  If my father was still with us, I'd be asking you to make another of the Big Red One.  Nice job.

I think you got a right fine start!

Looks great to me i really like your artwork! I made one for myself awhile back.

I put pen/pencil pockets on mine along with a couple of slide pockets for bits of paper or  whatever and it works out well

I was gonna make it like you have and put both sides in a pocket but decided to make it a little different with a button closure and this has helped because I can add bigger sheets of paper I might be carrying around with me in there andstill keep it closed

here are a couple of pics so you can see what I mean

All, thanks for the words of encouragement! I have found leatherwork to be almost therapeutic and I really enjoy it. If anyone views any areas that I could have done better please post them. I do appreciate all the accolades though!

DP - I think your book cover is sweet. I opted not to get to in depth with the internal pockets and such as I am hand sewing and I am not a fan of it! Lol
