SSJ purfling install

I finished the purfling install for the small-small-jumbo (SSJ) model. This guitar has a matched Maple-Brazilian-Maple-Black(died) Maple purfling to the Rosetta design. Rosetta was also made from a book matched Brazilian RW. All Brazilian materials came from a bed flame owned by this guitar owner's grand mother. Brazilian materials are almost 100-years old.SSJ has narrow wast, and bending the purfling material for the narrow wast is a little bit difficult. Bending process using the heat iron creates material shrink if add too much pressure with excess heat. So, a gentle bending process is required for the purfling material. In this guitar, the purfling material was able to install almost perfectly.
