Full-Grain Leather Cover
I use full-grain cowhides for your new leather cover.
Full-grain leather is generally considered the highest grade of leather when it comes to durability: the skin is not sanded, buffed, or altered in any way that compromises its natural strength. I use cowhides because of their toughness and the variety of colors and finishes they come in. They are also my favorite leather to work with.
Because full-grain cowhides are a natural product, no two Bibles with it will look identical, even if the same line and color are chosen.

Suede Leather Liner
For the liner, I use suede from the same hide as the cover with the grain retained underneath. By retaining the grain side underneath the suede, the suede fibers have something extra to attach to, discouraging wear.

Custom Bookcloth Endsheet
Bookcloth is a classy, textured, and flexible endsheet made of 100% cotton cloth and handmade kozo (mulberry) paper, renowned for being strong and flexible. With over 350 colors to choose from, there’s almost certainly a bookcloth endsheet you will love.
Lay-Flat Book Hinge
I use bookcloth for the book hinges (where the cover connects to the book pages). Most premium leather Bibles have leather hinges. While leather does make for a strong hinge, it often isn’t flexible enough for your Bible to stay flat in Genesis or Revelation. Bookcloth encourages your Bible to lay flat, while also being strong enough to endure the daily use of your Bible.
Hidden Hinges
Beneath the bookcloth, a second set of hinges is placed as a backup to ensure that your Bible won’t fall out of its cover if the bookcloth hinge somehow breaks. These hinges are made of a cloth called mull, which also protects the spine of your Bible.
Repair Work
Sometimes a beloved Bible gets damaged over years of use. Pages can get torn or detached, and the binding can start to come apart. While not all damage can be repaired, a lot of damage can be. Minor repairs come complementary with your rebind package.
Major repairs incur an extra fee, simply due to the extra time and attention it takes to repair certain damages.
Customization
If you’re going to have your Bible rebound, you may as well have it customized to your tastes! Any element of your Bible can be customized, from the leather, to the ribbons, to the lettering on the spine. You can be as specific as you want with your Bible design.
