Leather Longstitch Books

A Custom Order

This photo album was custom ordered by Sarah in Australia for an anniversary present to her husband. They've taken photos of him standing next to large landmarks (big pineapples and such) and this album is to hold those photos.

All the lettering and design was burned in by hand. Leather is a rustic hickory brown lambskin. You can click on the photos to see them larger.
