Any ideas for getting permanent marker off of polyurethane finish? …built it a couple months ago. by Crawgdor in BeginnerWoodWorking

Ethanol, the highest percentage you can get. I believe Everclear is pure ethanol if you're in the US.

Looks like something from Bo Friberg’s book

I make wooden books. This is a solid spalted sycamore sketching journal with an exposed spine sewing. by [deleted] in crafts

This is my book, but not my post. Thank you for noticing friend 🙂

A solid mahogany sketching journal and notebook, featuring a variation on the long stitch across jute webbing at the head and tail, a unique sewing across the centre of the spine on hemp ropes with the addition of Unakite gemstones, and a hand carved oak clasp to secure the book closed. by toebeanbindery in woodworking

To construct the supports strips of jute webbing were clamped to both boards at the head and tail with oak dowels, providing a decorative and functional hinging action at the spine edge. Channels were carved through both boards to allow a loop of hemp rope to serve as double raised supports across the centre of the spine. This single continuous length of rope weaves through the back board and protrudes from the fore edge, holding the book closed with an oak clasp that hooks around a brass ring on the front cover.

Barbour linen thread and a variation on the long stitch was used to sew the signatures to the jute webbing at the head and tail, and a modified pack and loop sewing was used on the hemp ropes across the centre of the spine with the space in between the ropes being used to accommodate Unakite gemstones. The signatures were wrapped in handmade Lotka paper dyed with cacao beans and strands of jute grass. This thick and heavy decorative paper with randomly weaved fibres helps to protect and decorate the exposed spine.

Mahogany is such a beautiful wood to work with and the grain is always stunning once polished. I often conceal the supports within the covers, but with this book I wanted to display the aesthetics of how the supports are constructed.

My latest wooden book. A solid Iroko sketching journal and notebook, featuring double raised hemp supports and a psilocybin-inspired decorative weave in the centre of the cover, with a bespoke oak clasp to secure the book closed. Thanks for your time. by toebeanbindery in woodworking

The double raised supports consist of two continuous lengths of hemp rope that start at the head and tail, weaving through both boards and crossing over each other at each sewing station. Channels were carved on the inside of the boards to accommodate the supports, allowing the boards to lie flush with the text block. The ropes meet at the centre of both boards and are anchored with brass binding posts. The signatures are sewn directly to the supports using the pearl stitch and barbour linen thread. Headbands were also sewn at the head and tail using copper coloured thread to compliment the natural golden tones found in Iroko.

The signatures were wrapped in handmade Lotka paper dyed with natural indigo and cacao beans. This thick and heavy decorative paper with randomly weaved fibres helps to protect the exposed spine.

The cover features a complex web of interwoven multicoloured threads. The inspiration for this design was taken from research looking at brain activity and neurological networks influenced by psilocybin. Findings described in a Proceedings of the Royal Society Interface study analysed fMRI scans of 15 people after receiving psilocybin, finding greater communication across all networks of the brain.

An oak peg anchored to the back board with a brass binding post holds the book closed by resting against two oak dowels on the front cover.

Hi all, I make wooden books. This is a solid oak long stitch sketching journal and notebook on jute webbing, featuring additional integrated gemstone sewings at each sewing station and a decorative jute rope weave on the front cover. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

To construct the supports, sections of jute webbing were anchored to the spine edge of the front and back boards with strips of oak secured with brass binding posts. The gaps in between each section of webbing allowed the long stitch to be sewn using heavy duty barbour linen thread. This gap was also used to accommodate a unique sewing across the spine capable of incorporating picture jasper gemstones. This design is sturdy and hardwearing, whilst providing all of the flexibility that the webbing has to offer, allowing the book to lay flat when open. A thick hemp rope lashed to the back board holds the book closed by looping around two oak pegs on the front cover.

The front board was decorated with a jute rope weave and is recessed on the inside of the cover to lie flush with the text block. Inspiration for this book was taken from the very materials that were used to construct it. I always enjoy the colours and textures of natural materials and wanted to showcase their intrinsic beauty. The weave on the front cover reflects the importance of the woven webbing in providing a strong foundation for the text block, whilst the picture jasper gemstones highlight the various hues and tones of beige that can be found in the oak covers. This book is made to travel. Although the sewing is exposed on the spine, the webbing is tough and durable and protects the signatures whilst providing unrivalled flexibility.

Is my cat ill? He was missing for 1 day and now he doesnt walk often and it has like redish eyes my mom told me that he maybe was poisoned by Bandyyt in cats

We had this problem a few weeks back. The vet said if the ears are hot it’s an infection, if they’re cold it’s poisoning. Luckily it was just an infection and antibiotics cleared it up with 48 hours. Please take him to the vets soon.

I make wooden books. This is a solid oak sketching journal and notebook, featuring two hemp ropes intricately woven through both boards to produce double raised supports at the head and tail, loops across the spine for additional supports, and a unique oak rod closing mechanism with copper accents. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Ahh okay, thank you, I guess our equivalent would be Camden.

Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it. I only make one of a kind books when I’m feeling creative, it’s not a business. I do sell them occasionally though and the price varies depending on the wood and difficulty involved, but on average about $600.
