§ Piece
Union bifold.
The first piece. Two halves of walnut, an extending elastic spine, a leather inner band. Built to disappear into the front pocket.
Every union was finished in a tung oil and beeswax blend, hand sanded through four grits and rubbed with a soft cloth until the timber would not take any more oil. The interior elastic was sourced from a Sydney saddler and replaced once per run.

Notes from the workshop
This piece is archived. We are not running new batches. If you own one, the oil and beeswax finish note covers re-oiling.
