Restoration Video below, see how I do it! Below is a video I made, its the restoration of an old family Bible, it had been stored in a shed for nearly 40 years and was badly damaged, so much so that the cover was almost totally destoryed, but we managed to save it and incorporate it into a new cover by inlaying the front & back of the saved leather into the new leather cover, Please click the TV below and it will take you to utube. |
