Bookbinding Revisited

So here are some more of the books that I made. I'm really excited about this one, it's made of calf hide, and still has the fur, It was pretty tricky getting the fur to lie flat, but it turned out pretty neat. I gave it to my wonderful father for Christmas so he can write up all the adventures of his life. It's very manly! This second image is the back, I loved the beautiful creme and brown colors.


I also rebound my brother Scott's scriptures, they turned out pretty nice, and it was a lot of fun. I found this neat tool where I can heat up the leather and almost burning it, so I wrote his name on it. His friends called them his Jesus scriptures, they were jealous!

And this is Craig's new Titanic notebook, so he can write up all the cool things he reads about it!

Anyway, I was really excited about working with leather, and loved this distressed natural look.
