Members Bluesman Posted March 23, 2012 Members Report Posted March 23, 2012 That is wonderful work. Did you do a three piece, front, back and spine with a hdden stitch. The spines on the back are incredible. Nice job, Quote If it ain't moving and should......WD40, If it's moving and shouldn't....Duct Tape. There you have it, now fix something

Members Sylvia Posted March 23, 2012 Members Report Posted March 23, 2012 What an honor to repair such a precious book. Nicely done. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"

Love the deep carving, the book back is wonderful....I pull my hat....great craftsman ship!! Jimbob Actually, Jimbob, that's the front of the book. Arabic is read from right to left and what we would call back to front. But I agree, it is wonderful carving. Nice job! Edited to ask: Where did you get the beautiful filigree stamps? Or were they custom made for you? Edited May 29, 2012 by Rodw Quote ~Cheers and Thanks! Rod W Chicago, IL

Well aware of this fact, Rod....I am born in Europe,,,,,I have seen my share of arabic writings....I was actually refering to the actuall backbone of the book...not sure what you call that....when you close the book and have it in a shelf...this part you see then ....it just amazed me how deep and three dimensional it is!! Great work, great craftmanship and I absolutly agree with you on the quality of the work!! Thanks for your edit..
