Wooden binding is fairly fun to work. Gross dimensions are .060" and .030" made of Walnut and Maple. This matches the bound fingerboard. The detail on the right shows the light dark combo of the stripes. Very pleasing. Since the US Post Office has learned nitrocellulose binding is flamable suppliers started providing ABS plastic binding. It looks fine but is not as easy to work as the old nitro. Wood binding is now more popular. Wood over platic is nice.
