Personalized Leather Journal Handmade Bound Diary Notebook Sketchbook Engraved Leather 685b
Leather bound journal you'll find to be the perfect gift for any moment or occasion. Got to give me some time though. At 7" & 9" this is a real deal book! And especially if you want some of the customizing I offer. Lots to think about. Engraved leather, custom laser jet printing, engraving on copper or silver plate. Constructed from dark sepia oil tanned cowhide, I'll wrap it around as many hand torn pages as you'd like. Any man or woman would be proud carrying this truly bound book. Lots of folks will ask where you got it. With 100 hand torn pages for thoughts, musing, doodling (serious drawing), cartography, landscape watercolors, interior design or divinely inspired poetry, this rugged and richly handmade leather journal is ideal for the person who has it all. They ain't got a truly bound leather journal form NewSouthBooks. Shall we review? This journal is rugged. It's handsome beyond description. Adorned with hand hammered copper and custom engraved leather. So . . . it has total purpose. The purpose is up to you! Again, ask about personalizing. Ask about custom engraving on the leather or hand hammered copper. Maybe some custom laser jet printed verse or endearment. Just ask -Measures 7" x 9" x 1-1/4" of rugged oil tanned cowhide in dark sepia -Hand cut & trimmed into stylish fold over design -Hand hammered copper lapel -Five hand stitched signatures of Stonehenge 250w fine art/watercolor paper -Signatures stitched with waxen linen thread -100 hand torn deckle edge pages -46" hand cut leather strap with custom stitching (request a favored color) -Finished with imported silk head bands -Signed by journal maker Ask about personalizing.

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 Handmade leather journal5.0I was very impressed, not only with the leather journal, but with the communication by the maker. I wasn't expecting to receive such prompt replies, considering I live in another country and time zone. Michael is lovely and I will definitely be coming back to do more projects in the future.
I can't recommend Michael any higher to anyone wanting a handmade leather diary.
Thank you Michael! - CM

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.
