Binding install

Binding installation for nylon models are completed except the cut-a-way portion. Myrtle body has the African black-wood binding. Malaysian black-wood body (Negro) has the Bocote binding. Both materials bend pretty easy. The most difficult binding material for bending is Ebony. Ebony is super brittle. Previously, I have been using the Ebony binding. However, I am tired of using the super brittle material. Particularly, the cut-a-way portion is pain-in-the-ass. For me, the African black wood is the best material for the binding. It bends well, and looks excellent. Only drawback is the high price.
