Curly Koa Binding
There are very few, if any woods, that decorate an instrument the way curly koa binding does. All my binding is definitely curly and I can select for lighter or darker sets to contrast with the wood you are binding. I encourage people to buy sets of 5 pieces. I don't do this to sell more binding, but to save you the agony of breaking a piece and being short. All pieces in sets of 5 will be cut from the same wood. Minimum size is 2.3mm x 7mm x 820mm. Most pieces are actually slightly longer. All pieces are curly. I also have wider strips, sanded to 7mm available. These are sold by the inch of width and are cut so that the curly shows on the 7mm side. Price is $18.00/inch. They are intended for use by luthiers who want to glue laminates to their binding before cutting and sanding the individual pieces. They are also 820mm long.
I have some tips on my method of bending curly binding and matching purling inlay here .
Prices for binding do not include shipping costs. Let me know how many pieces you are interested in and I can quote the shipping.
Per piece $4.00
Sets of 5 pieces $17.00
