Covering the Boards for the Two Needle Book

think about direction of grain of board, direction of pattern of paper (and grain)

gluing the Front (F) leaving a tab on the right for the hinge used in stitching 

making the foredge corners, gluing only the foredge at this time

glued down foredge

gluing Tyvek to reinforce the hinge tab

remember to crimp the corner before gluing the side edges

prefold before applying glue

bring the hinge edges slightly in to create clean hinge area

sides glued up, lining glue in later

marking Tyvek for fold


bone folder helps press that fold, glue, then glue lining on

wrapping for press

ready to go in the press for awhile
