Talas - Bone Folders

Bookbinding Tools & Supplies > Scoring and Burnishing Tools

The essential bookbinding tool for beginners and professionals. These bone folders are handmade of genuine bone in three different styles and various lengths. Useful for turning corners on cloth and leather, scoring paper, folding, smoothing out surfaces, and burnishing surfaces. Each bone folder varies slightly in thickness and shape.
Three distinct shapes:
#1 Pear-shaped (pointed at one end, rounded on the other)
#2 Rounded at both ends (looks like a tounge depressor)
#3 Extra long tapered (comes to a rounded but sharp point at one end)
