Binding Again...

Here are the associated pictures to rebinding the new back that I just put on Jake's GA.  Essentially, I bend the binding package (including the purlfing) which allows me to install it all much more easily.

Then, using a williams style binding machine, I cut my rabbit channel...Usually, I try to do this about 0.005" deeper than the thickness of my binding strip (in this case flamed Honduran mahogany).

 Then I install the binding.  I used white glue in this case because I could not afford to have CA leakage into the body.  Somtimes I use CA glue, but only if I have sealed the pores of the wood (especially on the top) and if the rabbit channel has NO access to the body.

Then it is ready for scraping.
