I don't need that for my checks so had never seen it on a cover before.
Question - if the flap was 6 inches long that should cover the writing area lengthwise right? And how about 2 & 3/4 inches from the edge, up from there should cover past the date line right? I don't want it to wrinkle by hitting the checks binding.
I'm not sure why the cover, shown on your link, is so long - 7 & 1/2 inches

The checks are only 6 inches long.

O.K. everyone; Price for the cover - Customized with your name and Delivered to your door: $75
I need to know what style checks your have - do they tear along the top or the left hand side?
Will you need the carbon check flap? Let me know one way or the other please
Do you want your username in the name-frame? or last name? Maximum is 11 characters for the covers that house the checks that tear from the left hand side. And maximum is 10 characters for the covers that house the checks that tear across the top.
One side will have the gold hair-on bowtie with chrome spots (as shown in post #61) and your name-frame. The other side will have the SSR tooled along with the corner tooling (as shown in post #77). All covers are that same chocolate brown you see in the pictures above.

You can send me a check (just one of your checks will work, I have a U.S. checking account as well as a Canadian one

) to my mailing address;

What would really dress up the check book cover even more would be if you would do a round Mexican laced edge all around. It's labor intensive but would be way nicer than the straight stitches.

I don't use many checks either in this day and age but... I do have custom made SSR photo checks I had printed.

Holy moly did I have fun making this one

- NOT
The inlay of flames was way too time consuming and still didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. If only I had a laser to cut the two pieces then they would fit precisely but then you'd have to pay thousands of dollars for the cover so I guess not. The curves and pointy parts are tough to do. And with that knowledge I have decided to only offer the bowtie in the inlay area. At least it's got straight lines and friendly corners. That and the chrome spots and color suit it.

I also included a few pictures of the inside so you can see the slit for the checkbook.
.
But now you can see the first ever SSR tooled on the one side. I also switched up the stitching slightly and I like this one better.

I know what you mean and I like that too. Just ended up choosing this way instead, thought it suited it better..

turnheadz · 03-18-2010, 11:08 AM

took these this morning.

I hear a lot more folks are using them for truck registration books and such, with plans of displaying them at car shows.

Last night wwhen I got home from a day at my sister's house, sitting by the pool to recover from two days at Disneyland, I found a package in the mailbox.
