Things to improve on ‘the fisherman’s favour’

I was really happy how the fisherman’s favour turned out. Still there are a few thing to improve. The aim was for a danish millimeter binding (a mix between the Bradel binding and fine binding). With nothing to go but a few pictures of a finished book I pretty much guessed my way there and added an extra challenge because I was set on the bathymetric design.

Usually I would have finished the covers first with only turn in’s on the the spine side edge finished, joined the covers and the spine with its overlapping leather, and then finished the other turn in’s. As you can see, I have open edges with all the layers visible, so I had to wriggle my way through there. I added some extra cartonage to level out the leather, but it still left a ridge on the inside. An extra layer of cartonage also meant an extra layer of glue and moisture and thus tension from paper, which is why the covers are both convex (between convex and concave I definitely prefer convex though, so that’s fine with me).

On the leather you can see a slight bump, that’s where the turn in’s on one side aren’t completely smooth. Having only a few signatures also meant, there wasn’t much of space to work in inside that hollow back and I couldn’t even out that fold on the inside anymore. Next time...

Lastly, the covers don’t open very well. The fine binding demands an easy opening to 180° without the inner book moving. On the last picture you can see I don’t have that here. There’s too much strain and the whole inner book moves along with the covers on opening. I see two options here. Either, I have to widen the joints (which would make it pretty much a bradel and nothing else though) or I could work the endpapers in with the cover opened to 180° as I would with a fine binding. Let it dry like that for an hour or two and only then close it. I think I’ll try that on the next one too.

A half leather I bound, using oasis goat leather in a wonderful dark blue, and marbled paper I bought in Venice. Hand stitched silk head band, reading mark and coloured edge, using blue ink and gold wax usually used for polishing wooden picture frames. I think the effect goes rather nicely with the paper.
