Some stain got under the 6mm tape covering the binding yesterday. Scraping that off plus the exposed binding on the back of the body must of cost me approximately six hours. I also had to fix two small chips of binding which were cracking off. There are a few other cracks in the binding around the place which have stain within the fractures, but I don’t mind, makes it look older to me which suits the overall look of the instrument. I made a nifty little tool to help scrape the top of the f holes from some of the leftover aluminium used to make the notched straight edge.
