Modified my rosette cutter so I could use it to scribe my binding channels on the back. Used my wheeled marking gauge to scribe the sides. Started chiseling them out on guitar number one.
It’s a bit intimidating but similar to chiseling out the rosette. Once you get in the groove, both figuratively and literally, it’s not too bad.
One of 4 close on number one. Also cut and pre bent my bindings, which are walnut with a locust purfling on the bottom side.
Lots more to do.
