Default binding
the binding is tough this is only my second time trying it, I have to say very tedious, alot of masking tape and very messy all over my fingers with the glue, but the outcome is worth all the work

I love those f holes, too. W/B/W binding on the body and binding those intricate f holes - I bet that was a job! I sure is looking good..
