I also completed binding material making. This guitar has African black wood binding with a black and white inlay border. I always glue the black and white inlay before bending the binding.
Purfling and binding install proceses are a time consuming work. Curve fitting work is the most important process. Before glue the purfling and binding, a perfect fitting makes a high quality gluing without any gaps. As you see the top has one coat of shellac. This is a prevention coat from the fiber tear off, when I remove clumping tapes.
Do you use the trim router instead of the Elevate Lutherie binding jig because of the arm bevel? I'm curious to know how you route the purfling ledge/binding with the arm bevel.
