So, last night, after having cut the binding channel, I fitted the binding and purfling by bending it on my side bender, to fit the channel. It has to fit perfectly, in order not to leave a bunch of little gaps to be filled. The binding is rosewood with a white accent stripe on the bottom and the purfling is black, white, black, white, black, made up of colored veneers. These will be glued into place with hot hide glue, a very tricky process that needs about six hands, but I'll manage with two.
I'll post more later today.
G'day
