Thank you.

I don't know if it matters...but the thinking was that I wanted the bearing to contact as much wood as possible. Had I cut the binding channel first, when I cut the purfling channel as least part of the bearing would have been floating in air.

Of course the real trick would be to have a special cutter made that could do the whole thing at once!
