FAQ's
Q: Is the blank paper suitable for fountain pens?
A: Yes! The paper is thick & of high quality. Bleed through and ghosting is very unlikely with pens including fountain, and most water based fineliner markers. Not for use with sharpies.

Q: Can I use watercolor paints in my notebook?
A: You can do light washes, if you don't mind some warping. Many of my customers do this & are happy with the results - but this is not meant to replace a watercolor pad.

Q: Do I have to use Forest Nine brand inserts with my notebook cover?
A: No! You can use many brands of notebooks / inserts

ABOUT OUR LEATHER
The leather used to create these notebook covers / sketchbook covers has been hand crafted through a lengthy & specialized tanning process. This process creates an outstanding quality of leather that will age and patina beautifully with time and use. This tannery has been in business for nearly 120 years & they create some of the best leathers you can buy. We have worked with this tannery to create the perfect Forest Nine tan color, but we also have dark brown and black for some added options. The tan and dark brown options will have a "pull up" effect, which gives the rustic dual tones you see with use. If you like, you can rub some leather balm on the front, but it's not required by any means.

‣ Since leather is a natural material, please expect slight variances & imperfections.
‣ Embrace the imperfections and scuffs created over time, this only makes your journal cover more special!
