  • @baldwinleatherworks
    @baldwinleatherworks Місяць тому +4

    Your book covers came out beautiful! I would like to share a little tip with you when you dye leather. instead of using a wool Dobber I use a scrap piece of bark Tanned wool shearling about the size of your and when you’re dying your leather. You will get much more even and better coverage. You won’t get the streak in us and have to do so many coats. This is especially true when you were dying black because black is one of the trickiest colors to dye, leather streak, free and even. You can buy a bag of these scraps really cheap from places like Tandy generally.

    As someone who does bookbinding in her freetime, I really have to acknowledge the amount of work you put into these. These reworks are absolutely gorgeous!
    If I do raised bands, though, I only do them when I actually sew the sections together, as an additional stabilizer. What material did you use for those? I don't think that was shown in the video... And did you just simply glue them onto the inside of the spine and then work them out with a bone folder? I have to admit, I have never worked with adhesive binding before XD
