Hey Jim, what did you use for the hinge on the travel log? Is that
leather? I'm working on a family scrapbook design for my wife's family
and that looks like a pretty nice job. Looks like it's about 3/8 thick
at the front and 1/4 at the back. VERY nice looking binder.

Dan,

I can't take full credit for that. My son designed it and made the
bulk of it with me offering help. It was a gift for his girlfriend who
was going away to do a semester in India. That is a map of India on
the front he cut on the band saw out of purple heart. Yes, the binding
is leather he bought at a local leather/shoe store. He bought nice
writing paper at a stationary store and had it bound at Kinko's with
black cardboard front and back, then glued that to the wood.
