The edge of the body was routed with a dremel tool and a special attachment. Now it will be scraped clean with a square razor blade.
I made the rosette sound hole trim with the pearl and abalone pieces glued to a thin veneer and edged it with white, black, white plastic binding pieces. I cut the recess in the top with an x-acto and small chisels. The edge will be bound with white, black and maple strips.
After the bindings and rosette have been glued in place, the top and sides were sanded flush.
I used the same binding theme for the peghead. It took a few tries to get the maple to bend into the double s-curve without breaking.
