Then I had a go at routing the channel for the binding and purfling. Don't really have the right bits so made do with what I have and do a bit of improvising. Needed to make a caul (not sure if thats the right word), a piece to stick to the top of the head stock so the router could get right up to the end of the fingerboard and had to use some packing strap to space the router bearing out far enough to get the right rebate size.
After a bit of tidying up
Not sure if it shows up clearly, but there are sections where the inner ledge for the purfling need to be built back up, my lack of experience showing. Maybe sawdust and glue should do the trick?
Hope I didn't get anyone's hope up with the art deco inlay design, it looks fairly simple but the plan is to scribe some lines to better define the shape, if that makes any sense.
