There was an article about turning old books. I think this was in one of the recent issues of AAW magazine. Too lazy to go upstairs and find it. What adhesive is used or it is cast? Thought of the free books at Mckay's book store. As good as free wood!

Feb. 2019 issue. Kailee Bosch. The article just said "laminated paper & hydraulic press." I've talked with her briefly, and I believe she said it was an epoxy resin (but it could easily have been a polyester--I suspect that it was epoxy, though).

That is what I recall, too. Epoxy (of some sort) and pressed. I do recall her saying she had to paint every single page (shortcuts like every other page or etc. didn't work)
 
That is the article but too time consuming for me if I have to paint each page. Rules out War and Peace.
