Looking for a beautiful cover authentic for a Bible or other large book? This made to order cover is made entirely by hand from premium, vegetable tanned cowhide in beautiful Lancaster County.
The personalized cover can be made for any medium to large Bible or other book and I would be happy to use a different text if you prefer.
First I get the dimensions of the bible, then lay out and the pattern to highlight the natural beauty of the leather. The design is painstakingly transferred onto the dampened leather and then cut out with a razor sharp swivel knife. Utilizing a variety of small stamps and modeling tools the pattern is given its striking three dimensional shape.
After hours of tooling the cover is oiled and then dyed, or left natural, it is then is hand stitched in the traditional, twin needle saddle stitch with high quality thread, finally the cover is finished with an all natural beeswax finish to protect the natural beauty of the leather and give it a subtle shine.
All of these steps combine to create a durable cover, made in the USA, that will last for many years to come.
Multiple thread colors and dyes are available.
Estimated 2-4 weeks for production.
