For this journal I used two Padron cigar boxes.   The paper used is high quality 70 lb Mohawk Superfine paper which is great for sketching and is also fountain-pen friendly. The book was sewn together using a classic Coptic stitch that dates back to the 2nd century and allows the journal to open flat for easy writing and sketching.  I also used waxed Irish linen thread for durability.  

These journals make great sketch or personal journals
