Members rustyj58 Posted February 24, 2019 Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 Made this for my Grandsons 13th Birthday. I made the pattern myself and I was surprised to see it come together as well as it did. It was a wee bit tight getting the book covers into the slots but once in it seemed to fit perfect. I was unhappy with the basket weave but no one else much notices it so I need to quit being so hard on myself. I was going to do a more detailed dye job but I decided to just keep it SIMPLE as simple usually ends up being better. Well, What do you think? I do like the feed back. Happy tooling, Rusty Quote
Members Rohn Posted February 24, 2019 Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 I think you did an excellent job on the Bible cover. It looks great and I think I'll keep it in mind to make one some day. Quote Rohn(John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)

Members JazzBass Posted February 26, 2019 Members Report Posted February 26, 2019 Great job! I especially like the wood grain of the cross, and, as mentioned, your choice of the red thread is wonderful. I can see where YOU would have a problem with the basket weave - the border being more noticeable than any slight unevenness in the pattern, BUT - it is only because it's being analyzed on the millimeter level, as we all do, in order to improve our work. Everyone else will see the item as a whole, and it most certainly looks beautiful. Heck, I wish my basketweave looked that good. Yes, be proud of this one - you absolutely earned it, sir. Period.
