Binding



Hi Folks
Found some spare time on the weekend to do some more work on my guitar project. I've added the binding around the body and given the guitar a good sanding - the top was then stained with a thinned lemon dye. A coat of cellulose sealer keeps the dirt out of the pores.
Next step is to finish inlaying the fingerboard and then I can spray the finish.

This week sees a smoother in Greenheart - a very hard and dense timber. More pics soon!
Cheers
Philly

Gorgeous guitar. That lemon dye on figured wood is a winner.

Thanks Swanz!
Can't wait to get the spray gun out and put on the lacquer - the figure will really pop then.
Cheers
