Enjoyed a little witchhazel walk @morrisarboretum.bsky.social today and a stop in the fernery to break up the winter blues. #naturewalk #winterwalk

Here’s the custom leather book box that goes with the rebind of The Stand. I added a cubby space for a page I took out when I took the book apart. It’s a love note that was written on one of the original endpapers.

Finished the rebind of a first edition of The Stand by @stephenking.bsky.social with a signature inset on the inside cover and custom art added. Black goatskin with custom inlays based on the original cover design.

Working on gilding and sewing some endbands on books. Slow and steady wins the race.

Trying to work out this cover of The Stand and it’s fighting me as hard as the figures on it 🤦🏻‍♀️ At least the box came out well. #bookbinding #custombinding #custombox #stephenking #thestand #workinprogress
