Binding channel cut and purfling making

     I completed the binding channel cut and the purfling making. Binding channel cut for the top is a relatively easy work. However, the back side is a quite challenging work due to the domed back shape. I introduced an elevate ultimate binding jig for this challenging task. Using the elevate ultimate binding jig, the result is amazingly good. Form a single cut, the binding channel is precisely square at all locations including the neck heal section. 

     Besides the binding channel cut, I cut binding material from an African black wood plate. I also bend the purfling material. I will use maple, Brazilian RW, maple, and black dyed maple configuration for my purfling. I laminated those materials for the original purfling by myself.
