Bindings & Purflings

The Padauk classical continues to simmer along.  I enjoy working on it when I get the chance because it’s kind of a special project.  I recently installed the bindings and purflings, and got a few pictures after scraping them down.  The broader white purflings on the sides and back are flamed maple, which I think will provide a cool effect under finish.  The bindings are Indian Rosewood.

I also finished making the bridge, which is inlaid to match the rosette.

It’s getting closer to making music, stay tuned!

    The pattern in the bindings goes nicely with the grain of the spruce top, doesn’t it!
