Fretboard binding

Curly maple fretboard binding. Looks good so far, just waiting to get the body bound in maple as well. Actually ordering the bearings and bit for the router to do the binding.

I wanted to do it by hand, but I'm very antsy and not sure I really have the patience to do it that carefully. That being said I probably should try it. So many times I've heard "power tools are really good at screwing things up very quickly". I'm sure that's true, but I've been very careful so far.

Binding took about 2 hrs. 2/3'rds of which was spent prepping the fretboard. Pleased with it though.

Hope to be finishing (leaning towards french polish or hand shellac) during October and playing this thing sometime before Halloween!!

more later,
