PAPER
Each size journal contains 200 hand torn pages (back/front).  The paper is a hearty 67 lb. ivory colored vellum (What is vellum?)
card stock that gives the journal a wonderful thickness. Due to its hand torn nature, paper may be slightly uneven and jagged,
causing a wonderfully rustic and aged look.

Thickness: 67 lb. card stock (32 lb. card stock when extra pages are purchased to prevent journal bulkiness)

BINDING/SHAPING METHOD
Your journal is made completely from scratch in our shop (so we know that it's made correctly); we start with a hand cut piece of
leather and heavy weight card stock glued together for a strong structure. We then shape the binding and hand stitch all the pages
directly to the leather with heavyweight binding thread. This thread is ideal because it allows for a good amount of stretch without
breaking and prevents the pages from tearing out over time. Also if the journal does break for some reason, we do free repairs for
the life of the journal!

I just received my new journal yesterday and all i can say is 'WOW!'  Thank
You for the awesome book! It's such a beautifully crafted item and I am so
glad that I was able to find your website. I had spent a good deal of time
searching online for the right type of journal and it was well worth the search
because  this by far exceeded my expectations.  This feels like a
one-of-a-kind item and I especially enjoy the added wax stamp and metallic
textual detail on the insert. . . very nice surprise. Thank you very much!
