Purfling and binding install

I have been working on purfling and binding install process. This is an extremely time consuming and detailed work. Also, I am using Ebony for the binding in this project. Ebony is one of the difficult materials for the binding work, because the Ebony is very brittle. Usually, I will loose approximately 30% of binding materials due to the braking problem. This is inevitable problem, because some portions of the Ebony are very dry and  brittle. Those portions are no suitable for the bending work. However, the Ebony binding is very beautiful for lighter colored body material. I completed top side installation work including the beveled armrest portion. I will work the back-side portion next week. I might be able to complete the body making work next week.
