Devin and I have completed the binding of the body and the fretboard.

The body was bound with ebony and BWB purfling.  Additionally a brown/white/black rope purfling was used for the top.

The back is shown with naptha towelled on, which cleans, brings out the color, and indicates where excess glue needs to be sanded off.

The fretboard has been bound with ivroid.
