I am interested in hearing some ways that you guys bind florentine cutaways. I know some guys sand the pointed seam flat and then add a square solid piece and then shape it back to a point. If this is done this way, would you bind the top and back before or after this step? Other options are welcome. |

I set the point first. Once that is bound the rest is easy. Sometimes for something different as I usually do these in a wood binding I make my point and butt the sides into the point block. This is maybe a glorified M&T joint john |

I usually set the point in the manner you mentioned and then bind. If you have side purfling that will be included on the cutaway point then miter it like you would on the endgraft leaving the point to extend all the way to the binding and miter in the purfling. |

Here's how I do it... Once I have the top and back on: * I route out my steps for the binding first. * I measure out and by hand cut a channel for the edge purfling. * Next using a good backsaw cut off the end of the point using the edge purfling channel as my guide. * I fit in my purfling trim pieces in the end and line them up with the top and bottom and then glue them in place. * then I take a solid piece and fit it into the area I cut out and so it flushes up against the trim pieces I put in, I leave it a little taller than the top and bottom and set it aside. * Now I fit my binding on lining up my purfling and points and glue the whole thing down. When that's done I come back with my end cap and carefuly fit it into the empty space trimming the top and bottom until if fits snug, then glue it in and let it dry. I leave it a little proud of the edges and finally sand it to match the profile of the sides... Sounds harder than it is, but I find that fitting and trimming the purfling first makes putting the trim on easier... If there's a better way I'd sure like to see it... -Paul- |

Hahahaha I just KNEW someone would ask that question... I don't think I have any of the process, but I'll look. It will be a little while before I have a new one at this stage... -Paul- |

Thanks Paul. I as well as others I'm sure would appreciate seeing them when you get to that stage. |
