The end papers have been made, hook guarded and sewn with the text block. My preferred sewing technique is an unsupported link stitch. The white sheet to the left is a waste sheet and will be removed prior to the leather joint being put in place.
The gold leaf has been worked with wire wool to lend an air of decay, I am rather happy with the result.
The text block is rounded and backed with an initial spine lining of Fray Not with secondary sewing to the first 2 and last 2 sections. The head was sanded but left in an unfinished state before edge colouring. Again this look is in keeping with my general design .
