Today, I.....
- routed the purfling ledges on the top (BWB/BWB) and the back (BWB)
- spent a little time fine-tuning the purfling ledge on the upper bout of the non-cutaway side of the back (it was a little shallow and sometimes a little wide)
- bent the non-cutaway side bindings in the bender, and later checked them for fit (they fit fine!)
- chiseled out the slot for the curly koa end graft, fit the graft, and glued it in
- extended the end graft into both binding slots by the width of the side purfling
- mitered the end graft purflings
Here are the photos!!!
