Back Spine Inlay

Before gluing the back onto the rest of the body, I added an inlay on the seam in the back panel.  I purchased the inlay and slotted a 5/16" wide grove for it using a router.  This should have been done before I braced the back panel, but I did not think of it.  It was a bit harder with the curve in the panel, but not too bad.

I'll put a matching strip of inlay on the bottom, or tail, once the panels are trimmed to size.
