Handmade Autograph Books from Wood

[big_red_s]

Here are two autograph books I made for DD4 and DS2. The front and back covers are made of wood.

Front cover for both books:

The "2009" logo on the front which I thought came out pretty cool:

I made about 40 inside pages. I was going for a "rough" look, something similar to prelims in animation or sketches in comic book art.

Here are some samples which I thought came out pretty good.

This is just a joke of DD4's misunderstanding of the lyrics

Your books are very special and I am sure will be a treasured memory. I hope you have a great time getting the autographs.

Those covers are cool!!!! Tell us more about how you made them!

[big_red_s]

Thanks SharonLovesMickey.

The covers are made from plywood I had around (if I make anymore I'll make them out of Cherry wood so they'll come out much nicer). Each cover is actually several pieces (the cover itself, the border, the logo and the 2009 logo) and I used several tools to make them (from table saw to delicate carving tools).

I know the post of your Disney autograph books is an old one, but I came across it and love your work!
