Medieval Style with Gold Fragments & Braid

My Medieval Style books have five raised bands (once made of rope cord) on the spine. I use beveled pieces of leather. To this medieval book, I have added leather braid, ancient gold fragments and knotted closures (next picture). This is my most elaborate book. It takes days to make, with much clamping and drying in between stages, This style comes as a FAMILY BIBLE Journal or Photo Album and can be made for Your Book Leatherbound or Your Papers Bound as a Book Your Papers Bound as a Book
