Moving along on the fretboard. I am binding the Cocobolo fretboard in Koa with a Maple purfling line:
Meanwhile I am also working out the fretboard markers. They will be two toned curly Koa with a silver border. The markers will carry over the edge through the binding and serve as the side markers as well.
Here is a picture of a test one where I am using the same materials (less the binding) to be sure this will work as I am also testing how I am going to do it:
Note that the silver has sanding marks that will be polished out when I do the real ones.
Thanks for following along!
