This is very nice
I would love that as a sketchbook. Thanks for the idea with your binding.

For the signatures - I couldn't tell you exactly, I came up with this stitch myself. It's a form of long stitch, spaced to accommodate the cords. Then on top of the signatures is case binding, but with extra scoring on the spine.

It's a ship's wheel, but the symbol was chosen as it bore resemblance to Wheel and Chariot Major Arcana tarot cards, and some wheel of the year references.
