There's nothing like smart decor. And this one's book smart.

These aren't easy, but the results are worth it. At least we think so. We can do any letter with nearly any book. Spell a word or just a letter. How about a monogram?

Getting married? We'd love to do your last name in books. f-u-n.

Have a special set of books you would like us to cut, we certainly can. You just have to be aware that book cutting doesn't always go off without a hitch. We're perfectionists and problem solvers, but the unforeseen is not always our ally. Just know, there are few wrongs we haven't been able to right when it comes to projects, there's usually a solution around the corner.

Here's what you need to do. Each listing is for one vintage cut book. The cost includes the found vintage book, the layout, and the cutting. If you're concerned about shape, just let us know and we can send you a copy of what the letter will look like.

Font: Believe it or not, there are some fonts that will work, and some that will not. Each has to be engineered to be able to work with holding the spine of the book together & making sure the saw won't chew the book to pieces. If you have a font you love, let us know and we can create a custom listing for you including the cost of hand sketching.

Which vintage book? We scout books all the time. We choose books that are in lovely colors, are in good shape, and have tight spines. We have lots. We will send you a photo of the book (s) before we cut, just let us know the color family you're shooting for. If we don't have it, we can look for it, again, we can create a custom listing for you.

Dimensions: Varied, but generally, the books we use are standard 6" x 8" x 1" (Books larger than 1 1/4" are not cuttable without browning the pages)

Weight: 1 lb each
