Handcrafted Antiqued Green & Brown Leather Blank Book With Oak Leaf Tooling
This item is a hand tooled leather bound blank book with richly antiqued shades of green and brown contrasting with the brass of the rivets and the snap. The entire book is and ornately tooled with an oak leaf pattern and Celtic motifs on the covers. 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. While this book has Celtic motifs on it, I can custom make them to whatever you may have in mind. 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.

For Harmonica Case5.0I 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.

For Christmas 20134.8I 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 Hand Tooled Leather Journal With A Reptilian Attitude5.0I contacted Gene with several questions about a project I wanted him to work on as a gift for my son. I'm pretty picky when it comes to leather goods and particularly when it comes to gifts. Gene was FANTASTIC at working with me on every little detail that went into the journal cover he created for me. A couple of rounds of back-and-forth discussion about this color and that, what kind of binding, etc. etc. etc. and soon we reached the starting point. Once the project was finished he sent pictures of the final result and I was bursting at the seams with satisfaction because of the spot-on job he did. I just gave the gift to my son for Christmas and he nearly blew a gasket at how awesome and unique this leather journal cover was. Thanks, Gene! You've earned a couple of very happy customers. -Efrem

For Leather harmonica case5.0From 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.
