I am currently planning to build a SJ with florentine cutaway based on drawings that I got from Bruce Dickey of the Olson SJ. I have searched our archives but am not finding the info I need. I am looking for info as to how to cut the vertical binding channels on the point of the florentine. thanks in advance, Tom |

On the few that I have cut, I just cut the end of the point off and glued on a piece of sufficient size and then shaped to the point. I did this before making the side binding ledges. The trouble with my method is you need a larger piece than your bindings.

Tom I cut the channels for the binding and then cut a channel (by hand) for just the purfling piece, I fit and attach my trim and make a point with the binding, then I trim and glue in the purfling and finally I take a larger piece of the trim (I buy one when I'm collecting wood for the trim) and fit it into the end. I don't have any pictures at this point, but the next one I do I'll take a set of photos to show my steps.. It's pretty easy once you do it... -Paul- |

Okay, truth in advertising: I've never done this, but here's one technique I've learned. Join the side to the cutaway, with a shaped spruce or mahogany wedge to support the point on the inside (make sure the long side grain overlaps the cutaway end grain). Route/cut/chisel the side at the point as wide as you want it, but no deeper than the thickness of the side. Insert binding/purfling to taste. With this process, you avoid having to find a thicker piece to match your binding, as you would with a full corner wedge. Carlton |
