Hi Jayne,
Oft times the CNC sets quietly in the corner of the shop for weeks or possibly months without use but when called upon its always at the ready.
After both faces are on Tottie 2 its time to bind her up. Here is a shot of the freshly cut binding channels:
Four hands are always easier than two. Mary hands me strips of binding tape which which secures the bindings as the glue dries. Tottie 2 gets EIR bindings with Maple purflings. Its a very understated yet elegant look IMO.
