Time to start binding this instrument. First up is the tail graft, which covers the area where the sides meet at the tail block. They're just a rough seam now, so we cut in a nice tapered piece which allows us to get it very tight. I'm using curly Koa to match the bindings. See below for pictures of the process. |
| We cut it the old fashioned way..., using the graft as a starting guide. |
 |
| Once the lines are defined, we cut down to the tail block. |
 |
| Looking good... |
 |
| Removing the ends of the sides... CAREFULLY. |
 |
| Test fit is perfect! |
 |
| Here it is glued in, and wetted so you can see the contrast and the curl. |
