Endsheet sections for a church membership register

 I am enjoying my work on a church membership register. It’s a straightforward rebinding.

Yesterday I made these endsheet sections and felt satisfaction in my work. They’re simple, but still require decisions: the endsheet paper, flyleaf paper, hinge material. I followed my trusty Laura Young instructions and now the endsheets are ready to be sewn into the prepared text block.

 

 

 Boxes and Bibles

Whew! Today I completed two of the largest Bible boxes I've ever made (above). When loaded with their Bibles--they're heavy! I gave each a special pullout tray with a leather finger loop to make it easier to remove the Bibles.

I've been backed up with work, to the point where I was feeling stressed. I love Bible repair and plan to keep doing it, but must admit those 15-pound Family Bibles seem to get heavier with each passing year.

 

This Bible (below), was only 7" high by 5" wide--not heavy at all! I preserved the original covers and inset them into the new covers. The box has a special folder to hold all the inclusions I found among the pages.
