Triangle Book

This is a wood covered book using coptic binding and an inlay on the back with a carved triangle on the front. Thread the same color as the binding hangs down from the triangle toward the bottom of the book. It has about 168 pages of white blank paper. It is narrower than A4 paper but the same height.

It took quite a bit to get the inlay inlaid correctly; lots of mistakes but eventually we learned a lot about carving, measuring, and adjusting. Even though the book took a lot of time to get right and was quite frustrating, it was worth the effort because of lessons learned. 

Listen to Episode Eleven on the player at right to hear someone complaining about the effort put into this book. Also, check out Tedorigawa Bookmakers , another site related to books.
