Bone Folder?


The major identity for book maker or binder is the bone folder. Bone folder is a basic manual binding tool made from whale's bone with blunt edges, it is basically use to fold paper or wrapping material with ease on thick paper surface around the edges. There are quite few types of bone folder with general and specific purposes. It is purposely to avoid smudges or wrinkles either from air bubbles or glue residue to emerge on smooth surface on the paper.

Some people who cant afford to buy it will use other household items or hardware items made from plastic for binding works. However, book maker is not symbolize by the special tools, it's in their heart and mind. Just sharing. Hope this info could give you guys a better knowledge in book making process.
