Hand Tooled Leather Cover For Standard Sized Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book
Have a sponsor or friend with a special anniversary approaching? How about a gift of a personalized cover for their well used and worn big book? All my covers are hand carved and tooled from the finest cow hide carving leather and finished with a calf skin or designer leather interior. Pocket panels can be of tooling leather for extra cost and customized with name / date or hand carved text of your choice. I hand lace my covers using quality calf-skin lace. Stitching is possible if you prefer. I provide a variety of colors and finishing styles. Please see my other listings to see the variety of cover sizes, designs, and finishes available. Pricing is highly dependent upon cover size, complexity of construction, and most of all, the detail and coverage of design. Give me an idea of your wishes and budget and I'm sure we can design a very elegant and affordable solution for your needs.

Welcome to RAllanK Leather!
My name is Allan and I have been hand carving and tooling leather since around the age of 12. Nevermind how long ago that was!
My initial work was in wallets, belts, and purses. But my love is in tooling larger items with more room for design and expression. I currently specialize in book covers and covers for consumer electronic devices.
Have a family bible that you would like to protect and decorate with a carved leather cover with your favorite passage inscribed? How about a personalized cover for your favorite novel or photo album. Are you in recovery or know someone who is? I have many ready-made designs for covers for the literature from Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12 step programs for that special sponsor or loved one in recovery.
I also tool portraits of pets. Have a furry friend that you would like remembered in leather? How about a leather clock or wall hanging with your favorite picture of your pet?
Though my love and specialty is in the carving, tooling and dying of leather, I do welcome all inquiries for your leather project. I do all my own work including tooling and dying of the leather and the stitching, lacing and any other assembly required to complete the final product.
I look forward to hearing your ideas for that carved leather project you have in mind.
