Handmade Brown Leather Cowboy Journal Pocket Rodeo Diary Mustang (473)
Rugged (and very cool lookin) leather cowboy journal constructed from rich brown leather with a wrap around strap. And a neat pocket sleeve on the back too. Having done some cowboying myself, I know how handy a journal/notebook/dairy can be when keeping track of calf count or cost of feed or maybe writing down the phone number of that pretty girl with a nubby #2 pencil. This journal is the perfect size of the saddlebag, glove box or back pack. There's not a damn thang' wrong with flipping it up the dusty dash of that old truck. This truly leather bound journal will only get better with time and use. -Measures 5-1/2" x 7-3/4" x 1-1/4" of oil tanned brown cowhide -Hand cut & trimmed into stylish fold-over cover -44" hand cut leather strap fully adjustable & removable, triple wraps -Hand cut & trimmed pocket/sleeve on back -Five hand stitched signatures of 250w Folio white fine art/watercolor paper -All signatures are hand stitched using waxen linen thread -100+ hand torn deckle edge pages -Inside front cover features laser jet printed mustang from original art -Finished with imported silk head bands and my signature -USPS Priority Shipping includes insurance My journals are truly hand bound books.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
As sole proprietor at Studio of Visual Arts, I have been a professional illustrator and printmaker for 35 years. My illustrative work is represented in five Louisiana State Museums, countless corporate collections and has received numerous prestigious grants. NewSouthBooks was born as a natural extension of that same artisanship. I am now producing and marketing handmade, leather bound journals of quality and distinction, each journal a unique presentation with original artwork as adornment. All leather, new or old, is hand-cut and trimmed. I use only the highest quality fine art/printmaking paper (250w), hand stitching each signature. My leather journals are truly bound books using traditional book binding materials. Adding to the distinction is the incorporation of original artwork to inside covers and often, the middle signature. On this site, you'll see many examples of work previously completed for clientele. Just find me and we can discuss making one to suit your individual needs and taste

For Custom Made To Order Leather Cover For Any Version Bible With Rebinding (296)5.0Michael breathed new life into my husband’s late grandmother’s Bible. This precious keepsake, which was worn from many years of diligent use, can now be something we pass down ourselves thanks to Michael’s skillful hands. Michael kept me updated throughout the process, from receipt of the Bible to delivery, and he was careful to preserve all of the personal notes and scribbles. My husband and I are both thrilled with the end product!

For Leather Bound Bible Niv Version Distressed Brown Cowhide New Ready To Ship (577)4.7Making this purchase was a breeze. It turned out to be a beautiful Bible that smells just as good as it looks. It has soft leather with a worn character feel. It is a 10/10 purchase. The one downside, that is not really a big deal, is that the strap is a lighter color, and it wraps both around the front and the back with short ends. It doesn't "tie" very good. I had the feeling it was one long strap that could be wrapped around several times with an easy tuck on the second or third wrap around the book. Besides this minor miscommunication in photos, it is an amazing Bible I will have for years. Thank you for the time and effort you put into crafting this Bible's exterior.
