wood bindings
I like to use all wood on my guitars, including bindings. Let the factories use plastic. My favorite guitar so far is an OM size with Adirondack Spruce top and repurposed Honduran mahogany back, sides and neck. I used curly maple binding. I like the way it looks on the back but on the top it looks unbound, due to maple and spruce being almost the same color. I'm doing another one now with rosewood fingerboard and bridge and I would like to have a very thin piece of rosewood binding against the spruce, then the curly maple binding at full size. All the wood binding I get from StewMac is .080" thick. I would like for the rosewood to be about .020" to .040" thick. Anyone got any ideas as to how I might accomplish this? Thanks Danny Gray
