Ive been working on a pair of OMFS guitars. One has a cedar top, the other engelman.
I start the bindings tomorrow. The bindings will be Brazilian, with b/koa/b top and side purfs. Should be nice!

Thank for looking!

Methinks your Brazilian is Mexican or maybe Nicaraguan Cocobolo. And, mighty fine stuff at that! I am especially drawn to the stripe-y one.

Or, maybe you meant you're binding these babies with Brazilian? Rosewood on Rosewood? Isn't that cannibalism, or nepotism, or some other ungodly, barbaric, and unnatural act? :lol:

Oh well, you just keep cranking out beautiful guitars, so you must be doing something right.

Thanks!
Dennis, yes Brazilian (bindings) I reworded my post to make it a little more clear ;)
The back and sides are indeed Cocobolo from Hibdon.

OK, that makes sense now. I misread things. Lance do you use epoxy to join the back with Cocobolo?
Thanks
Terry

I knew someone would ask :oops:

Do you use it on the head and tail blocks, back braces, and lining as well?

Hi Terry,

Yes on the back braces, no on everything else.
I use DA to clean up the squeeze out.
One caveat, Denatured alcohol can make some coco bleed like a stuck pig!
I have had to redo back braces because it leached into the spruce.

Not so fast, Lance.
I still want to know if these babies are going to Healdsburg?
(See, I'm needing to know how stiff the competition will be! :D )

I use the 205 hardener. 206 works well and it stays clear (as oppossed to going amber in color) but it requires more time in the clamps.

Nice Cocobolo, I have another set myself and now that I have completed a Coco guitar I can't wait to use it.
Have you had any reactions to the dust? I hear some people have big allergy problems with it.
