It's For a Weissenborn Style guitar which is about 40" but the binding from Stew Mac is only 34", so I need to make It longer. Thanks for your help.

On curly maple, a short scarf as shown might work better than a longer scarf across more grain lines.
Did you intend to post a picture because I don't see one?

I'm sure It's not difficult with a band saw, which I no longer have because the new craftsman 10" that I purchased a couple months ago had a bad motor so I returned It. I'm holding out for something bigger and better. I thought about just adding the shorter piece to the neck area, but wanted to know how others would do It just to be sure. Thanks

I wouldn't use a bandsaw for a scarf on a thin piece. This is a job for a small modeler's saw ($5 Zona Razor saw), mini miterbox or shooting board/plane.

Hi Todd,
May bad, I forgot that couldn't view photos on my side of the computer because I'm having some flash issues. I went to my wifes side and saw that is was there.

Use the main length for the upper and lower bout parts of the bend, scarf the neck or wherever is convenient with a chisel as you work. I don't see how a well done joint is a bad thing, and doing it in advance is a waste of time.

Hi Tarhead,
Actually I was referring to making binding from scratch. I have and intend to use an ex-acto razor saw. thanks
