Leather color: Our leather supplier supplies us with superior quality domestic 4-5 ounce (cow) leather hides that accept color exceptionally well (so that we can stain or dye the hide by request). This allows us to offer a wide range of colors, or custom colors (by request). The leather colors listed in our options are our "standard" colors. However, if you would like a color not listed below, simply contact us, as we can dye a leather hide to match most color requests

  • Douglas, I started on the journal cover today. I measured and cut the leather out. I then wet the leather and draw the design on. Then I take a knife and carve the design. After that, I take a beveling tool and hammer and go around the cut. This raises the design up from leather. I'm going to dye it now and let it dry overnight. Did she want a tie closure, like the picture you sent, because I did cut a strip , if she did. Also, would she like stitching on the journal? I glue the interior, with the papers, to the cover, and sew it, too. Some people prefer no stitching so I thought I'd ask your preference. If so, we have black, brown, and a natural color thread. The natural is like a light beige color. So let me know and thanks! Have a good night! Kerry drawing

  • Douglas, The paper finally came late this afternoon! So it comes in big sheets measuring 40 inches by 28 inches and I have to tear the sheets to the size of paper I need. Then I fold the pages and poke holes for sewing. I punch 8 holes , on four lines, on the interior leather, and put binding tape on each line. I then sew the pages into those holes. So it's all sewn in and I've glued the lining in and will let it dry overnight. So I'll send final pictures in the morning. Have a great night! Kerry poking holes
