Bookbinding - Attempt One: Turn Ins

After what seemed like a long time, I pulled the book out from between the board and readied to paste down the leather that turns around edge of the book to the inside.  Figuring out the cuts to a little bit as all the examples I found was for modern book board, not oak boards.  Eventually, I had things trimmed and ready for the pasting. I did wrap the paper pages in wax paper so they wouldn't get glued together.

Almost ready for pasting.  Just need to add a protective cover to the paper pages.

Paste down completed, a quick picture before the book gets clamped again.

All clamped up, time to let dry again.
