Xylothek is the new word learnt today, whilst doing bit of random web browsing.

Very nice, love the way the wooden books are made, with the bark left on the spines, and the leather hinges.

Very cool!

At Tree in the Park I saw some wooden books that Mike Brady has been making using native timbers that have been cut to show the beautiful grains. Very appealing and tactile. They aren't boxes, these ones hold cut hand made paper.

Mike, if you're reading this.....post some pictures, huh?

Cheers,
