Hi folks...A few more pics from Ted The kerfing being prepared and glued into position.Ted uses reversed kerfing but adds his own twist by notching the back too.He told me this makes it very easy to bend and work with   And one of the completed rim  Take it easy everyone Scott |

Some more pics from Ted..This week Ted will be doing the binding as previously mentioned and will be sending photos of the end result at the end of the week....meantime Ted sent some images of him finishing the end graft Cutting miters on the inlaid endgraft  Fitting and gluing the cut out purfling. Ted states that a perfect miter should look like it's one piece thats inlaid and show no witness lines of glue or gaps. In order to get clean results for this process Ted use 3 different types of glue with different viscosity's and properties.  Finished article  And one in colour  That's all for now |
