Handcrafted Leather Kindle Nook Cover
This was done at the request of a lady who saw my leather covered "eye" journals and wanted to know if I could make her a Kindle Nook cover that looked like one of my 6"x9" journals, including that it look like a book when closed. This is constructed in a manner similar to my journals except that the front and back covers each consist of two pieces of leather with plywood and padding between them to offer adequate shock protection for the Nook. I added a leather piece that looks like book pages from the edge around three sides and it seals the Nook cover nicely. These pictures are the result. I want to add that I did not have a Kindle Nook to work from, I took dimensions from an internet ad for the Nook and made a wood mock up to use during the construction of the cover. The nook fit perfectly!

Feb 1, 2015I 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.

Jan 6, 2015I 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.
