Binding and purfling channels

Using my new Ashley Ives Chisels to cut binding channel


Back binding glued, taped and clamped with large rubber bands

Test fitting the binding.

Cutting the purfling channel


Test strip on spruce off-cut

Purfling channel complete and I put a layer of shellac on the top to protect the soundboard from glue and tape.
My HiTech hide-glue warmer.
When fitting the back binding I had some gaps with the rubber band method. I decided to try the rope method. It worked a lot better for me.
