I am doing an armrest (koa) on my current build. It was looking great until finish. I was leveling pore fill on the radial cocobolo on the top around the armrest and sanded just a smidge too much. Now my nice .010 black purfling line around the armrest has revealed more and apparently has rolled over a bit. There isn't a gap, but instead the purf line is about .030 now. I don't like the way this looks. Any suggestions? I am hoping someone might have an idea other than rip the armrest laminate off and try again (again). Thanks.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

I don't do bevels so I may be way off........but..........the armrest area of the guitar obviously looks different than the rest of the edge. Can you sand it until it just kinda blends from a .010" purf into a .030" purf, then back to .010"? I know it may bother you most people (including me) would think it was cool.
