Pen Using New Cross Gel Refill

Cross now has a slim gel refill for some of their pens and I really like it so I made up a body for one.

It has a slip on cap.

Custom B5 Notebook Cover

Wanted to make a custom B5 notebook cover for work and this is what I came up with.

It will hold one hard cover or 2 soft covered and one small Moleskine in back cover.

Leather Pen Tray

Made this one based on a portable valet tray. 

It unsnaps and lays flat.

Leather Binder

Needed a binder for work so I thought I would build myself a leather one.
I lined it with a green wool felt and did the spline with a pebble textured leather I had.

Leather Notebook Holder

This is a style of notebook that I have really admired over the years but the price sticker was a bit of a shocker so with all the rain today I had some time in the shop.

Vintage casein

I got some vintage material in from France a while ago and today I was able to get a pen made up from it.

The material has a hole down the middle so I had to put an end cap on it as well.

Some Leatherwork

With no pens on the bench and my sewing machine all tuned up I was able to get some leather projects off my other bench.  I think I may have to many benches.
