Wooden Board Bindings
Whether you are looking to create a Wedding album, Guest book, presentation or portfolio this binding method stands out for it's sheer simplicity and beauty of the natural materials used in the making.
Early books before the dawn of printing were often bound in wood. The binding below is a contemporary twist on an age old method. There are several ways to bind in wood. Some bindings have a leather spine and others such as the example below are completely exposed to show off the wood. If this is something that might interest you please contact us
Due to our collaboaration with cabinet maker Marcus Sly we are now one of very few binderies able to offer both contemporary and traditional medieval wooden board bookbindings.
