I mentioned in an earlier post when I started routing channels for the bindings I spaced on routing for the purfling on the top before routing for the binding. I didn't know if doing this out of sequence would present complications or not. I was about to find out. Routing the channel for the purfling required the same tool and jig setup as routing for bindings and the same need for adjustments for depth and gap. Trial and error was in full play and after several attempts with minor tweaks I was set. Two laps around the top produced this. Hard to make it out but there is a small channel within the larger channel.
You might be a able to see it a little better in this picture:
If I do the set up and installation correctly I should end up with this look:
I decided to stay with Duco but switched from the sticky green tape to the Stew Mac binding tape. My dry fit:
The installation went without incident:
and then I was ready for the bindings. A test fit, some cleanup and scraping followed by another test fit.
And another installation without incident. I can't believe it. Except for scraping and sanding the box is finished
