Family Bible Restoration/Conservation



This project required Restoring/Conserving a large leather Heirloom Family Bible. The spine was detached from the cover but otherwise in pretty good shape. I did a leather restoration/conservation reback which includes the following process. Dismantling the cover and spine. Removing the fly leaf marbled endsheet. Cleaning the spine. Adding new cloth hinges. Relining the spine with new headbands, mull, and a hollow back spine. Rebacking the spine with new leather. Putting up the hinges, relaying the fly leaf, and relaying the original spine.
