☁️ Surely disbinding, pasting on the original cover, cleaning the deckle edges with the shear and a good time under the press are some important steps - but it is truly at the sawing in that serious stuff begins : creating the right spaces (not too small, not too deep) for the hemp cords to fit in. They will help to prevent the spine from collapsing on itself in the future, and keep the boards attached to the binding long after the leather gets all dry and breaks at the hinges. We might work with the highest standards of refinement, but i strongly believe that the permanence of the structure is something we are not allowed to play with ☁️

☁️ Il est certain que débrocher, monter la couverture d'origine, ébarber les témoins et un séjour sous la presse sont des étapes importantes - mais c'est au grecquage que les choses sérieuses commencent : créer les cavités idéales (ni trop petites, ni trop profondes) pour recevoir les ficelles de chanvre. Elles aideront à empêcher le dos de s'effondrer sur lui-même dans le futur, et garderont les plats attachés à la reliure longtemps après que le cuir a séché et s'est brisé aux mors. On peut travailler avec les standards de raffinement les plus élevés, mais je crois fermement qu'on n'a pas le droit de jouer avec la pérennité de la structure ☁️

I just shipped this Yin+Yang Horse Platter this week. I see the yin+yang as the importance of the balance. “Yin” and “yang” are a characteristic and don’t have any value judgment itself. Yin cannot exist without yang and yang cannot exist without yin. Things works well when there is good balance between yin and yang. Good balance brings harmony and strength. ・ ・ ・
“All things carry Yin
yet embrace Yang.
They blend their life breaths
in order to produce harmony.” Quote from Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
