Headstock Binding

[Glen DeRusha]

Nothing fancy. Maple and a black/white/black purfling.

After I cut and sanded the headstock to shape, I routed a ledge for the purfling.





Then I routed a ledge for the binding.





Selected some binding material.





Bent my pieces on an electric bending iron.







Glue and tape.







I sand the binding bevels on the maple to length and one end of the purfling. I run the purfling long and trim it to length with a razor blade as we clean up the glue squeeze out.







Let it dry, sand it down, and it looks like this.




I'll be back. ;D

I sanded the edges a little bit.





Cleaned off the little bit that was hanging over where the nut goes.





And that is close enough.





And were off to the next step.
