Back purfling...

I'm using black fiber purfling to trim between the bindings and the lower binding channel on the sides, as well as the end wedge. Because this purfling has to be mitered in around the end wedge, I thought it was best to install it as a separate step. While the purfling is fairly flexible, I still had to pre-form it with a little water and a heat gun at the waist. I used plastic binding stock to glue it down with... the wood glue will glue the purfling, but not stick to the plastic binding.

Now that this is done, I can go back and miter in the purfling and prepare for the back bindings.
