I’m binding the headstock and the fretboard with ivroid.  The headstock channel was cut with a router.  Ivroid was glued in in stages, first the sides, then the taper to the neck, then finally the top end.  The ivroid needed to be heated and bent before gluing.

The neck ivroid was installed after the neck was tapered.
