Sunnybrook Art Auction 2004

{ /books/wooden/sunnybrook-04 }

This was my donation to the New Leaders of Sunnybrook and Women's Foundation Art for Life auction. A total of $29,000 was raised at the event.

The signatures alternate between a Japanese chocolate paper and a French cream paper. The cover is made from oak boards.

This book went through two different versions. The first version was somehow missing something. It had a wax finish on the covers and was sewn with maroon linen thread.
Version one: plain covers and maroon thread

The second version I much preferred. I stained the covers with an American walnut stain and used cream linen thread for the sewing.
Version two: stained covers and cream thread
