Tooling Oak Leaves & Acorns with a Basketweave Background 🍂 | Custom Leather Bible

Описание: Join me in the workshop as I transform this plain leather into a custom fully bound Bible with hand-tooled oak leaves, acorns, and a basket weave background. 🍂 Every cut, lift, and impression is done by hand, using traditional tools and techniques to bring the design to life. With a special tool, called a pro petal lifter, I was able to curl the oak leaves, making them appear to jump right out of the leather.

This was only my second Bible order ever, created as a matched pair for a husband and wife — and it remains one of my all-time favorites. (After all these years, I found I had the original video clips!)

From the first swivel knife cut to last tap of my mallet, you’ll see the entire process of turning raw leather into a finished heirloom Bible that honors God’s Word with beauty and craftsmanship.
