Flamingrae -> Decorative bindings (Sep. 22 2018 10:05:40)

I ran out of binding and inlay strip and between builds so at a stage where I'm thinking about things. I decided to get a stock of my own strips together. As a starter, black mixed with Latvian birch ply. Seems to work and using the ply helps to build a decent block without taking forever (although it still seemed like that at the time). Most of you will be familiar with the process but a quick doc to chart this and the results. Now what is my next build again........

Nice! The cross grain in the ply adds an extra dimension to it, too. [:)]

Thanks Rob, it's a bit of graft getting this done but having done it once and got the method, I'd do it again. I've just discovered a new veneer warehouse that has a great selection of leaves, so I might be inspired to do a few variations. I can see I'll need to stock up on birch ply too.

Wow looks great. Nice even cuts! I want to try this and some rosette tiles but looking for a good source of veneers. Luthier supply is expensive

Yeh, that is half the battle. I found a warehouse in East London that has a lot of stuff. You have to buy the whole leaf though and they are anything from 6 to 24 inches wide and anywhere between 10 and 15 foot long. Might seem expensive at the time but this way it goes a lot further. I'm feeling quite inspired to go back and get some more now - and some different colours.
