Leather Aa Big Book Cover With Serenity Prayer And Lillies
I originally designed and tooled this leather cover for a standard size, hard back "Alcoholics Anonymous" book. The buyer had requested a lily motif and this is what I came up with. Tooled corners of lily designs in the corners, The Serenity Prayer as the centerpiece for the front, and a lily boquet as the centerpiece on the back. This cover was also dyed with hints of color for the leaves and lillies prior to being stained for a slightly more striking look. The cover is made of genuine tooling grade cowhide with a brown calfskin leather for lining and sleeves and hand laced with brown calfskin lace. This cover layout can be custom ordered with changes to the design motif, color, or prayer font.

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.

Jan 5, 2015My experience working with RAllan Leathercraft was amazing! Allen was very professional! Through out the project, we communicated back and forth, I really appreciated his suggestions, honesty and expertise. Allan was very good to work with and responded quickly to my daily emails and questions regarding the project. It was a pleasure working with Allen, I would have to say that I give him 5 stars in timeliness, communication, professionalism, expertise, shipping and delivery and value. Should I ever have a reason to do a leather project again, I will definitely use RAllen K, and would highly recommend his work to anyone looking someone honest, talented and professional with leather craft. I was very pleased with work!
