Binding Samples

Binding and Purfling are a beautiful and functional accent to a finely made guitar.  I tend towards simple and elegant binding schemes on my instruments and I consider solid wood binding and simple wood and fiber purfling to be standard. 

I am fully equipped, and quite enthusiastic to make a wide range of custom binding and purlfing. I currently gravitate towards multi-line purlfing, which can really span from small and unobtrusive to quite attention grabbing

Making my own binding and purfling allows me to do things like perfectly match the binding color to the sides creating both contrast and uniformity

Binding schemes can also be matched to custom rosettes as pictured here.  This RB-000 features a rosette made from the same purfling as was used with the binding.  Because this was made from the sides of the guitar, the rosette, binding, and purfling match the back and sides of the guitar perfectly.

Below this rb-00 features spanish cedar all cut from the same board, also true of the headstock elements…
