Lacuna Wooden Books

I have always loved things made of wood. I love the fact that each piece is unique and has individual characteristics. I was really impressed when I came across {Lacuna} books with wooden covers. Hana is from Portugal and creates these books for those who appreciate handmade objects with soul and history. She uses antique wood and recycled paper - bound together using the coptic binding method to form journals, albums, or sketchbooks. She often works from damaged pieces of antique furniture to form the covers of the books.

The cool thing is that this morning when I was checking out Lacuna's Etsy shop there were over 20 books and I just checked it again - just a few hours later - there are only 2 left!
