Same book from the other side.
Brass clasps I made from plate and wire. Unfortunately I don't have a picture from the finished book.
I bound up Ravenscroft's three books of rounds in the style of a binding from 1630 that I bought in York.
The cover is grey card rather than wood. I did some subtle blind tooling, though it has not come out very well.
Inside showing printed music and headband.
The first book I ever made. I used washers and furniture tacks to approximate the look of mounts from period bindings. No endbands because I had not figured those out. But I did use a piece of music I wrote as the endpapers, which was the whole point of learning bookbinding in the first place...
Pewter mounts on a green leather with wooden boards. I bought these mounts from Sir Sebastian.
Other face.
Headband.
The paper was made from cotton by Lorrix. The warping is mostly due to how I treated the paper with geletine... maybe a roller would have helped the drying process! I liked the deckle edge, so very little trimming of the paper.
