This cover for a notebook is made of several species of wood, namely at the base of maple and along the edges is a purple heart, the second option is with a walnut. The boards are first thoroughly planed, run through the thicknesser, sanded, and then glued together with carpentry glue and pulled together with clamps, they are in this position for 24 hours until the glue has completely dried. Next, the resulting boards are once again passed through the thicknesser and sawn into thin boards, the finished covers are well polished again.
There may be wormholes in the wood and they need to be filled with wood putty or epoxy to make the surface perfectly smooth. After that, the edges of the cover are rounded, for which it is necessary to attach a round object, for example, a pipe and circle the edge of the circle, and then grind the excess on a belt grinder.
The surface is covered with stain or varnish to give the wood a noble and aesthetic appearance. Then holes for fastening paper are drilled.
