Finished with the binding

An update on the classical. Binding is done, I am now preparing the fingerboard for inlays and gluing, fret slots have been cut. The wood binding was interesting. I've always used plastic/ivoroid before which you can just bend into shape, but the wood binding must be bent on the iron. I love this simple tight job, it just looks clean. One of these days I'd love to do abalone purfling, but look at a vintage Gibson j-45 or that 59 Epiphone. The beauty is in the simplicity.
