Bert03241 Report post Posted January 13, 2021 Well I joined this forum a couple days ago to find out about making a leather book cover for a Hardback book.I've been reading threads and jumping in on a few things I'm familiar with and still haven't got around to asking about my book cover LOL .I've been dabbling in leather work on and off for a couple years. I'm mostly into laser engraving wood, acrylic and decided to see what I could do with leather and the laser and wa la I'm hooked on lasering leather . I make custom engraved leather knife cases for Buck 110 Hunting knife and other knives of that size and shape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bert03241 Report post Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the welcome . I have a Rabbit USA 6040- 60 watt co2 laser engraver. Yea its very precise. I design the patterns in corel then transfer the design to the laser. It cuts and engraves the leather then I do all the finish work by hand. I bevel the edges, hand sew the sheath, then hand mold it to fit a knife, then I buff the edges and give them 2 coats of edge coat and finally give the whole sheath 2 coats of resolene .Funny I notice both of you spelled my name wrong LOL Edited January 28, 2021 by Bert03241 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
