Hand Tooled Leather Journal With A Reptilian Attitude

This item is a hand tooled leather bound blank book that will ward off the evil eye!! Just kidding! Measuring 4-1/2" by 6" and a little over an inch thick, it has 120 4-1/4" by 5-1/2" leaves (240 pages) of 20 lb. ivory bond paper. This is an ideal book to use as a journal, a book of shadows, diary, or whatever else you can think of. The glowing eye incorporated into the cover gives a reptilian feel. The overall tone of the dyed leather as well as the handtooling, binding and finishing of the leather - especially gold trim looking handworn from being handled for ages conveys an impression of great antiquity. Binding is done with lacing with the lace binding the pages forming a bookmark. The pages do not look machine cut and convey craftsmanship of a pre-industrial era. If you are looking for an exquisite handcrafted item for a gift or for yourself, you have found one in this blank book. This item can be custom made to your wishes: initials, name, design theme, whatever.

    I consider myself an artistic kind of guy and Gene knocked my project (an amazing harmonica case) out of the park! It was just was I was I was looking for and then some. I have already spoke to him about my next project for him. He also has some really cool items in his gallery that blow my mind.

    I worked with Gene to create a custom leather journal cover for my husband. He took my vision and worked with me to make sure we could create something very unique with my husband's intricate logo. My husband loved it! The only bummer was that even though Gene paid for expedited shipping, it came a couple days after my husband's birthday. He was patient and the wait was worth it.
