ABOUT THE JOURNAL
Handmade wooden journal, made from Walnut complimented by a white/blonde wood spine. The journal is made from solid wood and not a veneer. This is an excellent notebook for journaling, sketching, note taking, or for use as a guestbook... The wood is finished with natural Linseed oil for protection and to give a nice scent. Our journals are handcrafed in Everett, Washington. All BookGrain Journals are refillable.

•Journal has about 70-75 pages (which can be written on front and back)
•Paper is High Quality 32lb White Premium Paper

NOTE: There is some subtle variation in each piece of wood that we use to make our journals, slightly different grain patterns and slightly warmer and cooler colors. Every journal we make is completely original, and as such, the photos shown are a very close representation of the journal you will receive, but not exact.

ABOUT THE PAPER
BookGrain journals use a 32lb white Premium Paper, that is FSC certified. The pages can be written on front and back with a ball point pen. If you would a thicker paper, or different color, or even watercolor paper, or need more than 70 pages, send us a message and we can start your custom order.

ENGRAVING DETAILS
All of our engravings are accomplished by hand with a woodburning tool shown in the photos above. We do not use a laser engraver. As is the case, there will be some subtle variation and uniqueness to every engraving we make on a journal.

TYPE WRITTEN CUSTOMIZED MESSAGE
Add the liveliness of a hand typed message to the title page of your journal, share a quote, poem, or message! All messages are written on a Smith Corona typewriter. They are typed on high quality Southworth 32lb Ivory Paper and then pasted into the front page of the journal.

ABOUT THE BINDING
BookGrain Journals use a unique bookbinding called 'The Shoestring', developed exclusively for BookGrain Wooden Journals. The binding combines the better virtues of the spiral bound notebook, such as the ability to lay flat, with the aesthetics, simplicity and elegance of a regular book. These journals truly do lay flat which makes them perfect for writing on. When the journal lays flat the pages also remain in somewhat of a locked position which means they likely will not blow around in high winds : )

ABOUT JOURNAL REFILLS
All BookGrain journals are refillable simply send us your journal and we will send it back to you with fresh pages! For more instructions view the Journal Refill page:

ABOUT TREE PLANTING
For every journal purchased, BookGrain journals donates $1 to OneTreePlanted.org. For every dollar donated, this nonprofit organization plants one tree.

ABOUT BOOKGRAIN JOURNALS
Motivated by a love for working with wood and a strong desire for simplicity and functionality, BookGrain Journals was founded in the Summer of 2013. It began with the hope of creating a new book binding, one which combined the better virtues of the spiral bound notebook, such as the ability to lay flat, with the aesthetics, simplicity and elegance of a regular book. After many failures, some flying sawdust, a bit of sanding, three drilled holes and one shoe-string later, the first BookGrain Journal was born.

We sincerely hope you enjoy your journal.
