Designer Leather Alcoholics Anonymous Book Cover
I love to hand carve and tool leather. I especially love book covers given their simplicity of construction and quantity of surface area for tooling which allows me to focus on design rather than construction. However, the hand tooling takes time and adds expense. For those who would like an elegant leather cover for their big book but are not on a budget that allows for a more labor intensive cover, I provide a range of very attractive designer leather covers at more affordable prices. All covers are of genuine leather materials. The leathers available varies depending on what leathers I have available to me at the time. Contact me and I'll send you a selection from which you can chose. These covers are all hand made as I still hand stich or lace them, but no other customization or carving is possible on the finished hides. All sizes of big book, and single or double book constructions are possible. For a bit more, I can even customize inner pocket panels with carved name / date panels. Let me know your budget and wishes and we'll work together on the right cover design.

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.

May 24, 2015I got my book cover and I lalalalala- love it! This is the third project Allan has completed for me so, yeah, I love the work he does.

Dec 11, 2014I am glad Allan was the first to respond to this project. He not only made great suggestions for the design, he showed me the progress on the journal almost each day. The finished project was perfect and so awesome, I've already started planning my next project. The journal was delivered earlier than expected and the cost was well worth it!

Oct 2, 2014I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Allan! He was willing to take on a project outside his usual offerings, and had the best communication with me about what I wanted and even mocked up designs for me so that we could make it everything I imagined and more. I will definitely be ordering more ring dishes from Allan in the future for all my friends as well as recommend him to others looking for a unique handcrafted present. 5 stars is not enough to tell Allan thank you!
