Bound headstock and heel cap

I decided to try out two new things with the neck. Binding the headstock and laminating the heel cap of several layers. Both seemed to come out pretty nicely.
The koa wood binding with black/white/black purfling comes from stewmac and looks awesome!

Both the ebony fingerboard and the headstock are now
bound with koa, with black/white/black purfling at the bottom.
It does give the neck a pretty finished look!

The heel cap is walnut/koa/walnut/flame maple sandwich

The neck-to-headstock transition is not the smoothest possible yet.
Anyway, the binding has to be cut down to accommodate the bone saddle.
The side dots I made out of black shielded solid copper wire.
It looks a bit messy right now due to cyanoacrylate. Hope it cleans out later.

Some detail issues here. Fortunately out of sight of the right handed player

The fretboard position dots are classic 4mm abalone.

Binding done

Binding and the tool to get it done

Jyrki's guitar has hit the binding state in the factory.

Rosewood/spruce is getting curly koa binding and a herringbone purfling for the top. To route the ledge for the purling and binding, I've made a little tool that I spotted a pic of somewhere. With this kind of fixture it's a breeze to cut safely and exactly the amount needed to accommodate the trims. Much easier compared to any and held device. Strongly recommended!

The Manzer Wedge visible, plus to my eye a nice maple/koa end graft detail. 

Simple but efficient

Purfling&binding

Some progress to be reported:

the classic herringbone purfling bordered with koa-binding. Not bad at all
