Had a spine crack in half while I was doing a rounded back binding
I was working on a commission for a local history book here in Portland last month. Got to the backing step and as I was shaping the spine, it just snapped clean in two. The leather was too dry and I didn't condition it first. Threw out $40 worth of material and had to restart from scratch. What do you do when a leather hide feels dry to the touch - oil it up days ahead or just before you start?
