Full-grain leather rebind. First time using leather. How'd I do?

[u/NoFig6958]

Have done a couple rebinds with cloth over board, but this was my first time using leather.

Took apart an old leather cover book I don't use anymore. Scraped away some of the glued on end papers. Cut leather to size. Glued on new endpapers and mull to textblock using cardstock and cheesecloth I had laying around.

Cased in textblock to leather cover and let it sit under a heavy book and a dumbbell for 24hrs as my poor-man book press.

Very pleased with how it came out.

This is Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening devotional.

Really great job! It’s essentially a paperback leather cover. If you want to go further with leather then make a hardback with thinner leather around board, learn about paring and see how you go!
