Binding the Back with Curly Maple and B W B Purfling

Binding the back with Curly Maple Binding and Black/White/Black Purfling. Nifty binding jig from Stewart MacDonald works really well if you shell out for about 20 bearings (seen in home-made rack at the beginning of the video. A lot of cleanup left and, of course, the other side of the guitar.

Background music "I Wish I Was in Dixie's Land" by 0ldfinger. Stop by and listen to all of his music at www.youtube.com/user/0ldfinger.
