Pop-up Panorama Spectacular with Julie Chen & Erin McAdams was a really impressive workshop. We had a great time talking shop, getting to know one another and building these structures. Wow!

If you have never taken a class at Minnesota Center for Book Arts before I highly recommend you try it.

Book binders and box builders. The time has come to talk about Davey Board. Who has advice or insights to share?
This photo shows light weight Eska board ( not my favorite) on top, “New Davey Board” purchased in March of 2026 and “Old” Davey Board purchased early in 2025. They are not the same thing.
The Eska (.069) is real plucky/ soft and has a tendency to warp if not dried under weight. It also swells with moisture. It is thinner than the light weight (.070) Davey Board. What I was sold under the label “Davey Board” is thinner and lighter than the Davey Board we are all familiar with, but it is stiffer and denser than the Eska board. What is it? Not sure. It will delaminate, which Eska does not do, for label wells and such.
What are you using? Please answer in the poll or comments.
