MD Beveled armrest making

I took photos for entire process of the beveled armrest making. Beveled armrest making requires many steps, and steps are;
1. Cutting a bevel core from a Mahogany piece
2.  Assemble the bevel core inside the side
3.  Cut the side for beveled armrest
4.  Assemble the top
5.  Make a purling channel, and Install a purfling on top
6.  Make a binding channel, and installed a purfling for side
7.  Install Ebony binding
8. Install veneer on the beveled armres
9. Cur our excess veneer, and sanding.

What a complicated process for the beveled armrest making. This time, I used Ebony for binding and veneer to match the color. Large black ebony piece is very hard to find. I obtained a large piece of veneer from a Macassar ebony sheet for head plate. Color is slightly lighter; however, it seems very good matching as a complete binding.

Now, body makings are completed for both MD model and Nylon model. Next week, I will start neck making.
