Last one from the workbench for a while! Ever thought leather could look like metal? This was a blast!

Complete with double-gilt lines and tooled cover, this one is truly one of a kind. Featured leather is Bisanzio cowhide from the Conceria Puccini Tannery in Tuscany, Italy. Bisanzio achieves its uniqueness from its the rustic metallic look that has an amazing contrast when light hits it!

Thanks to Born Survivor for letting me have fun with it!

One of the last beauties I got to take care of before some time off from surgery! This one is strong from its finer details to its feel in hand. Are those scratches supposed to be there?

They are! Badalassi “Ecbatana Lux” is a leather produced by the famous Tannery Badalassi Carlo. It is characterized by a unique surface worked by hand so each skin is different from the other.

Ever seen a leather this unique?

When your client gives you their favorite colors and creative freedom you’ve got to make something unforgettable!

My friend Bryson entrusted me with this new ESV journaling bible and cut me loose saying he was a fan of purple and green. The rest was history! This is certainly the most non-traditional rebind I’ve done, but also one of the coolest!

Oh yeah, we can add art gilding and speckling as a creative touch. What would be your color combo?

This one was a big one but man it came out great! This waxy cowhide came out clean especially with the custom embossing. Our signature spine really popped on this as well!

What translation would yours be stamped?

I wish these pictures were scratch n’ sniff

If you can’t tell by some of my recent rebinds, we’ve developed a few new looks to our signature design including a unique spine design and signature cross.

There’s a bunch of premium options out there, but nothing quite beats a one of a kind, made one at a time rebind. Let’s start planning yours today!

One of my favorites thus far delivered on the Fourth of July! The plain stamping on this came out so clean with this leather’s oil. Not to mention the beautiful embossing!

Yet again, my favorite part of this process was the people I got to work with. Always such a blessing to see the reactions of someone’s treasure Bible restored and returned!
