I have made quite a few notebook covers for others, but this one is mine, to replace the SSG cover I made a few years ago. That one was refinished, buffed, and passed on to a good NCO to carry until he gets promoted out of it; he can pass it on to someone else then.

No process pics, just the finished work. This was a semi-rush job for SSG Huggie Bear, our company Readiness NCO, who was having his last drill with us prior to being transferred to another unit.
