I've experimented with trying to get a book glued up enough to turn, but have failed six or seven times. I will cut a book or two, stack it up to proper size, then try to get the pages bound up with resin or wood glue generally. I've tried stabilizing resin, penetrating epoxy, and CA to bind the pages up. However, paper doesn't seem to like these types of glues and it just splits too easily. Wood glue has been my latest experiment but the pages swell up so fast that it fails to stay flat and becomes a big mess. It seems like I saw pictures of a turned book a few years ago, but I can't locate them anymore or know who to ask. Any ideas? Thanks
