Members byggyns Posted January 26, 2016 Members Report Posted January 26, 2016 I did this over a year ago for a friend from church who was going on a year long missions trip. She's back now, but I never got around to posting any pictures of it. The book block needed some repairs, so I used linen tape to get everything back in shape. I didn't take any pictures of the actual binding to the cover, just of the new cover I made & the end result once I bound the book block into the new cover. Hopefully this will give a little bit of help if anyone wants to tackle a project of replacing a worn out cover on a book. The starting point: the old torn up Bible, goat skin for the outside & a concept drawing of the final look for the cover. The goat skin wrapped around the 6 oz pieces I used a book boards: glued using Weldwood contact cement Quote
