Something new: Waxed Tablets

I've been doing a lot of calligraphy on Owen's project lately.  I've also been picking up the tools I'll need to eventually bind all that calligraphy into a book.  I spent the afternoon using the new tools to make a waxed tablet.

Carving out the bed for the wax.

Uncolored beeswax for the stain, and beeswax colored with carbon black for the writing surface.
