This item is a hand tooled leather bound blank book with a decorated pentagram embossed on the front cover. The back cover has the Wiccan Rede framed by oak leaves on it. Measuring 4-1/2" by 6" and a little over an inch thick, it has 100 4-1/4" by 5-1/2" leaves (200 pages) of 24 lb. Southworth parchment paper. This is an ideal book to use as a book of shadows. A pair of sphinxes face each other on the lower portion of the front cover. The pentagram is deeply embossed standing out from the cover and is decorated. The overall tone of the dyed leather as well as the general funkiness in the handtooling, binding and finishing of the leather conveys an impression of great antiquity. The pages are bound with lace and also make a bookmark. The pages do not look machine cut and convey craftsmanship of a pre-industrial era.

For Christmas 2013I 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.

For Leather harmonica caseFrom the beginning Gene was an absolute pleasure to work with. He promptly communicated throughout the design process, delivered within his estimated time frame, and most importantly - did amazing job on the piece!
Anyone considering customer leather work should contact Gene immediately. His work is truly one of a kind. I'll be returning to him in the very near future for another design piece.
Overall extremely happy with my experience and would highly recommend working with Gene.

For Harmonica CaseI 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.
