Field notes
The notebook combines material knowledge with procedural instruction: readers can compare a sheet’s resistance, tear pattern, curl, and cut edges to infer grain direction before folding. Its stitching sequence includes concrete bench details such as a V-shaped cradle, beeswaxed thread, three-hole spacing, and a five-hole variant for taller spines. The page also separates A-series and US sheet sizes for its fold-calculation tool.
