    Very good thread.

    Regarding spine width. The usual rule of thumb was that the blade width is approx 3.5 X the thickness of the spine. It seems to vary from 3 to 4.

    So your 1/4" thick spine is even thinner than that. The consequence is that the bevel will be wider which will require more time to hone.
