Hello everyone. As the title suggests, I'm new and looking to get into the hobby. The interest started when I got into bowyering a few months ago and wanted a bracer to go along with the bows that I build. While I've yet to get there yet, I've managed to pick up some basic tools and dabble a little as well as check out a few books from the library on the subject.
Instead of the bracer, I've decided that the first project I really want to tackle is binding a Bible for my girlfriend. She's been looking for a new one for a while now, and just can't seem to find one she likes. I feel that it would be a nice surprise as well as help bring us even closer in our faith.
Unfortunately, the books I've checked out contain very little information on binding, so I have a couple of questions:
Are there any books in addition other than those by Al Stohlman I see suggest that I should look into, especially on this topic?
Is it possible to order unbound Bibles, or will I need to find an appropriate copy to simply rebind?
I'm sure I will have plenty of questions in the future, but for now, I thank you for your time!
