    Nice start there, Josh. And welcome to the forum

    I'll try and put a quick tutorial with pics about binding fretboards/headplates and thicknessing your own bindings with a router. I'll dig through some of my old pics.

    In the meantime, read these related nuggets
    http://www.stewmac.com/freeinfo/Binding.html

    And definitely these. Scroll down this page and look under Bindings and Purflings

    No real need for me to shoot a tute now !!!!
    Cheers, Stu

    Hi,

    Very cool neck through you got going there. I was wonder what kind of timber narra is? When it comes to binding, oz is your man. He is the king of accent lines and tidy laminations. Well worth taxing some of his ideas.

    Cheers,

    Peter
