Proposal
Using flax cords, the binding will be re-sewn in existing holes. The cords will be used to "lash" the raft onto the front and back cover boards. Dark navy goatskin leather with silver onlay leather. Raft of brown goatskin leather covered boards with blind tooled appearance of wood, lashed by sewing cords and knotted with a figure-eight which is secured to the cover board close to the fore-edge. Edges decorated with graphite with blind-tooled lines reminiscent of waves, headbands of fine flax cord. Doublure and endsheet of brown wood veneer paper. Title of brown onlay leather cut to resemble sticks.
