Aa Leather Big Book Cover

$200+
5.0(10 reviews)

This all leather cover fits a standard size hard back Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book. Made of the finest tooling leather outer surface and finished calf-skin interior, this cover is hand carved, hand tooled and hand laced. This represents the upper end of the detailed carving I do and features a full cover design. See my other listings for still elegant, but simpler and more affordable designs. I take custom orders and attempt to craft each cover to suit the buyer's vision and budget. Inside pocket panels can be made also of thinner tooling leather and carved with additional designs, phrases, prayers or a name and sobriety date on request at additional cost. Alcoholics Anonymous book not included.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the finished cover that I ordered. It's better than I imagined . Pictures online don't do it justice. It was a quick process Allan was awesome to deal with. Likes to share his ideas and hear yours . It was fast and worth every cent, if not quite a bit more .

I was very pleased with how professional Allen was in working with me. He went beyond what I expected. He delivered the work fast to me so to get it in time for Christmas. I will suggest him to everyone I know and look forward to having future gifts created by him.

My 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!
