You may remember I was planning a rather interesting binding. Here's a reminder:
Now you may not like the look of it but, as long as Riverman likes it - and he'd better - I'll try to make it wooden.
Now Rob...I did like your laburnum but - trust me - it would be a serious mistake to appoint me to the role of arbiter-in-chief when it comes to good taste, whether in guitar design or, indeed, in practically any field of endeavour. Just ask my wife.  |

No point asking her, Riverman. If you're any example, she's no arbiter of good taste either... |

No no, Riverman... You're the arbiter of post-modern bad taste but as long as people think it's post-modern they won't question your taste anyway. Or something.

Blimey, a slug infestation. Perhaps you should call on missclarktree who has some expertise in these matters. Keith |

I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end, R the F . what's the saying? 1% inspiration followed by 99% perspiration... |

The slugs look more like woodlice now! In spite of which it has to be said, all your effort is proving worthwhile - I reckon the final effect will be stunningly attractive!

I've been wondering about this final modification of the binding; what do you think?
