Yet more leather-work from Æiric

Post by AEiric Orvender »

I've just completed my latest project/commission. A leather 3 ring binder.

Image
This was my first attempt at a 3-Ring binder; this was done for the Barony of the Flame's Baronial Harold.

Image
This binder is a commission piece. the colors and designs were requested by the client.

The inside of the binder is lined in a pale grey/green suede.

You can decorate the tops of rapid rivets with a small chisel.
