My friend who runs a print shop said he'd rather I use a bone folder than any metal tool for scoring, which got me thinking about my whole process.
He mentioned that the bone folder gives a more consistent, gentle crease on the paper grain (especially with the 120 gsm stock I use for covers) and now I'm wondering if I've been too rough with my scoring technique this whole time.

Right? The simple tool is always the best.

Oh man, that's so true. It's wild how often the right simple tool beats a heavy duty one.

Totally agree, it happens all the time. I spent way too long trying to fix a squeaky hinge with fancy lubricants before a buddy just told me to rub a bar of soap on it (sounds weird, I know). Worked perfectly in two seconds. Sometimes you just need the dumb, obvious thing that's been sitting there the whole time.
