Finished the binding of the body, lots of cleanup and sanding to do.  I love/hate this part.  It’s a lot of work, but the result is oh-so-satisfying.

Tackled the headstock binding:  first routing out the channels to accept the very simple maple, bwb.

Installation of the binding and purfling was quite straightforward as this headstock is all square, little curve.

End result, just fine.
