Knotwork book cover and belt pouch

[Dreadhead]

Hey everyone here is another book cover i made for a member here. It was to be a gift for his mother and was to house a folder for recipes. I was given a nice brief on what to carve and we agreed on using a nice turqoise stone as the retention on it so off i went i hope you like it

to give an indication of size the missus took a picture of me holding it to go on the website

It was a real fun project to work on and will make a lovely gift. Thanks Rod


This week i also made another belt pouch for a member here. He wanted a soft pouch flap with oak leaves and acorns and bone toggles and beads

Thanks for looking

My Mum loves it Hamish!!! You really managed to take my ideas and make it stunning. She's already planning to add more pages to the recipe book she made for my sister & eventually I think she'll get them all published again into a book to go inside the cover and pass on to a grandchild.

I'm looking forward to how it'll look in a few years time, when it's got the marks of use, although I've promised I'll keep it oiled. I think it'll age so nicely.

I'll probably have to get something like that for prospective the mother in law next - seriously, after both her daughers are married (a couple of years away) a combined photo album would be made really special with one of your covers.

Thanks folks I have been pretty eager to show off the book cover

And rightly so - one of Mum's friends visited and she ooh'ed and ahh'ed over it. I've passed on the link to your site

As a friend said, that's the kind of thing that becomes a familly heirloom, with the added advantage of each geberation being able to add to it.
