Book #352

Herringbone

Today's binding is a basic (albeit awkward) herringbone stitch on double cords with a kettle stitch change-over, used as an exposed binding.

It was awkward because rather than using normal cords, I cut thin strips of leather for the cords which are not round. The herringbone effect would be more evident if the cords were actually cords.
