Thanks! Despite making it a little bit more challenging, I really wanted to get the binding on the point to flow with the rest of the binding. It's been a lot of work but I'm finally getting close to being fully bound!
As I mentioned in my last post, the general un-squareness of the cutaway section makes cutting binding channels with a router unfeasible. So, time to cut them by hand (after a bunch of tool sharpening)...
Next I glued in the cutaway purfling strips before cutting out the slot for the main binding strip...
And then the cutaway binding strip...
This last shot shows what I mean about having the binding on the point flow with the rest of the binding. Just a little bit more work and it will be fully bound!
