Here I am cleaning up the Spanish Cedar kerfed lining. It's a job I like because I like the smell of the Spanish Cedar so much which is also why I use it inside the guitar in the first place:
When doing the point of a Florentine cutaway I usually bind it like the top and back edges. This time I thought I'd try doing it with a single piece of Koa and avoid the seem at the very edge of the point:
It is a little more work to match the joint perfectly but it's stronger and allows me to face the best figured curly side out and the figure matches on both sides.
More to come!
