I use notebooks to keep track of what I do at work. When I switched to using fountain pens, I found the ones I'd been using didn't play well with fountain pen ink. After searching the various fountain pen friendly notebooks, didn't find any in a format I liked. So eventually I started making my own.

Here is the latest one...

The paper is nothing super special, but it gets the job done -- I wasn't able to find really "nice" paper in a suitable size.
I like the Coptic stitch binding because the pages stay flat when open.

Looks very nice! I've found myself tempted to try my hand at similar projects, but haven't crossed that bridge yet.

I'm sure it will be a beauty.
