These truly beautiful unique pieces are crafted from hardwoods, hand selected for their grain character and quality. The covers are created with resin in a river table style, giving each piece a completely unique beauty. The back covers will match the style of the front cover and most of the time will have a river as well. Each book spine is crafted with full grain or top grain leather, with options from snakeskin printed cowhide, to ostrich and metallic stingray leathers. Although these only take a week or two to finish from the time you place your order, the entire creation process takes over a year total from drying the wood, to the resin pour, to finishing and assembly. These book are the best of the best.
Only a few pieces are made with each wood and color combination at once and only the best of those pieces are kept for book covers. This means once they are sold out, a similar looking piece may not be available again for another year or even two. Some pieces will never be remade. Many of the available leathers are also from one-of-a-kind hides and cannot be restocked once sold out.
