A college student from church asked me to work on her Bible, and it's the next one in line.
Here's how it stands now. I've smoothed out the wrinkled pages with a bone folder, and it's in the nipping press now, hopefully getting them to stay smooth.
The text block is intact, but the cover is loose on the front.
She choose some fabric (the pretty big dots pictured at the end of this post) for the cover. So I'll be attaching double-sided interfacing to the fabric, and then paper to the interfacing, and using that to re-do the cover. Need to do a bit of research on how to get the cover corners nice and flat before re-covering it.
Fun!!!!
(To those family & friends who are bored with all the book-binding posts ... yeah ... sorry about that. It's kind of an obsession these days. Ignore me without guilt!) :)

No one better mess with my sister, or she'll pull out the bone folder and nipping press!
... and the gun.
Two very different hobbies ... between which there is very little overlap. Though I do, however, have a lot of VERY sharp blades in my toolbox. :) (and bandaids ... many, many bandaids)
I couldn't get into the leather wrapped tool handles but seeing a book renewed is pretty interesting.
