Maker's Note- I am a qualified Luthier-A guitar maker, each guitar I make has a hardwood edge to protect it, known as a binding, on the inside of this strip is a decorative strip know a Purfling, each purfling is an expression of the maker, handmade from books of veneer(bog oak and Scottish sycamore) cut at an angle and assembled to create a herring bone pattern. This is the centre strip of this Sgian Dubh. It is trimmed with Scottish Yew and Walnut.
