@Theroc I recognize @Liz ... However I don't know @Knomad. I wonder if If he/she would be interested in @AllegoryGoods I have considered getting my hands on some leather and tools ... I learned how to work with leather in my University days.... Wondering if I might take a shot at making one. I had a friend sew a fabric cover that is easy to refill standard 8 1/2 x 11 bagasse perforated notebooks I bumped into onlne :) . It is pretty darn good paper for everyday use, notes and scribbles. But, it sounds like some folks would really be interested in the @AllegoryGoods B5 leather journal covers. I'll have to look for your friend Knomad in future posts :)

j-e-gI actually considered trying my hand at leather-craft for a project that was on my mind. However, having done the math, I realized that it would cost me about the same in tools and materials as having Allegory do it for me. So I did, but that is something for another post... I am certainly still interested in a B5 cover from @AllegoryGoods, though they and @Liz seem to be ignoring us deliberately, lol. @Knomad was the one who originally asked @AllegoryGoods about the possibility of a B5 cover. Check Knomad's earlier comments above. Anyway, since starting this thread I have made the decision to get some custom B5 covers made for me. Here is a photo of one of them.

I will post more photos along with details in a new thread.

TherocGood Morning @Theroc - I was eager to watch the news about the hurricane this morning. It was headed toward my hometown where I have many friends and family. Will be anxiously waiting to hear how they weathered the storm. Your post was a good distraction... Started my morning with a :) Love the cover you had made. It is almost identical to the one my friend made... (mine is red bandana print with black trim) I decided against pockets on the cover because I thought it would make a bump that would affect writing on the left page. Have you found that to be a problem or no ? The pen pockets on your cover look nice and flat. I also have a canvas one for a standard graph composition book. I use it for drawing out wood projects. It's taken a beating in the garage. Actually it is nice that it is cloth because I can toss it in the wash. I'll have to show you a couple pen wraps that were sewn for me :) I would think most folks like @Liz @Knomad and yourself probably wouldn't use a nice @AllegoryGoods B5 leather cover in the garage to get full of sawdust and dirt.

j-e-gOh, wow. That grazing path is monstrous. I hope this beast veers off into the Atlantic where it came from. Wish your family and friends best of luck. I had already used the first dozen pages or so, when I got the cover. So the pockets weren't an issue. I went with cloth purely for variety, I even had one made out of paper. Leather is still the most gratifying, though.
