For Large Bibles

Here’s a list of Bible rebindings in stronger leathers suitable for large Bibles (about 9″ X 6″ or larger), and even for totally rebinding of some family Bibles. All rebindings come complete with “Holy Bible” on the spine or face (if the material can be imprinted), one ribbon marker, and new leatherette end pages.

These prices are assuming your Bible has an intact sewn spine. If the pages are falling out or the spine is glued, we would need to repair that with cord insertion ($20.00).

When you know what you’d like, just proceed to our ordering page. If you can’t decide, give us a call or write.

Pebble Grain Calfskin in a burgundy color

Calfskins and Cowhides

Thick, simple, pebble grained leather with good flexibility. This leather is strong enough to hold up well under the weight of a heavy study Bible, but isn’t stiff so that it won’t open and lie flat. The calfskins are available in black, brown, burgundy (pictured), mahogany, navy, or forest (below).



There are also a couple of nice pebble grain cowhides to choose from.  Look at the color of this royal blue one!

Hornback alligator embossed cowhide can be imprinted, too!

This leather comes in many traditional colors, such as black, dark brown, chocolate and maroon, or bright colors such as royal blue, pink, and orange. If you don’t see it in this list, ask!

Note: Harmatan goatskin needs to be special-ordered and paid in advance.

Kangaroo has the highest tensile strength of about any leather available.Hand-Dyed Kangaroo:
