Something I finished about a month ago but kept forgetting to post. A notebook with oil-tanned fish leather spine (specifically, from a male kelp greenling caught during last summer). It's technically a gift for my mother for Christmas, but then it ended up being, well, incredibly late and I had by then bought her another gift, so instead it's going to be a mother's day present... Which is still so far away.
The fish skin was definitely interesting to use and I had to play around with glues to see which would work the best for adhering the skin to the boards- in the end I used a wood glue for it. I also had chosen to use a very thin board for the cover, which had its own trials and tribulations, but in the end I'm quite pleased with it. I certainly hope to be incorporating more fish leather into more projects as I've got more fish leather and it is very cool and enjoyable to see them become part of a practical everyday object.
