Maple binding .25" x .06" glued and taped to the fingerboard working towards the outer edge.
Detail showing what John calls his crossbow. (the binding was actually longer to ensure go contact at edge).
Pretty straight forward shot detailing taped binding.
Close up of binding on fingerboard.
Fiber headstock next step is to route channel for nut.
