EIR Binding on a Walnut Body

I finished putting the bindings on #4. I used EI rosewood because I like the way it looks with the black walnut back and sides. Here is a shot of the top as well. I used one of the green fiber strips I got from Shane at High Mountain Tonewood. I am a little surprised in how visible it is – I thought it might be too thin to really be noticeable.

You might also notice some dents in the cedar top. I swear you can dent this stuff with a stern look. I will try to steam them out before the finish goes on.
