Since I haven’t had much time to take photos of my current work, here’s a throwback photo instead! These are some of the textblocks I made for my historical book models in grad school.
The top is for a laced vellum case, on alum tawed thongs with a primary endband on an alum tawed core.
The middle is a packed sewing on double linen cords, with a decorative secondary endband over a structural (sewn-on) primary endband.
The bottom is sewn on single cord supports, with laced-on boards. Endbands are the same as the middle book.
