Last week I finished two books that I count among my favorites that I’ve ever made. This is one of them; bound for @hypnatic, with 23k gold tooling (and some blind tooling on the spine), gold tooled leather endbands, and stunning marbled papers by @jemmalewismarbling. The tooling alone on this book took around 5 full work days! . . . #McCallCo #bookbinding #bookbinder #blankbook #journal #journaling #bookworm #bookporn #bookbindingporn #grimoire #leatherbound #leatherboundbook #bibliophile #bookofshadows #goldtooling #scottishherringbone https://www.instagram.com/p/CkbJCXSrYH3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Besides the Scottish wheel, the cottage roof design was the one that I was most excited to be able to do when I first started to learn bookbinding. I have some tools now that will allow me to do it even better, and I really want to make another one of these. I’m still offering a deal to the first person to commission one - DM to claim! Swipe to get an idea of how much planning goes into this design. . . . #McCallCo #bookbinding #bookbinder #blankbook #journal #journaling #bookworm #bookporn #bookbindingporn #grimoire #leatherbound #leatherboundbook #bibliophile #bookofshadows #cottageroofbinding https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg4euttrZbp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
