I got to the dungeon...took off the tape...and decided to work on the horn/cutaway.
This looks pretty ugly...and like it HAS to turn out a disaster...but really all that it takes is patience, strong fingers, and stronger tape.
Aahhhhemmmmm... (he clears his throat)
I just noticed something!
The purfling by the recurve
DOESN'T HAVE ANY BLACK BETWEEN IT AND THE WOOD!
'Tis true!
Look down there!
Dagnabit!
In my concern about getting the checkerboards lined up right...I flipped the piece of purfling end-for-end...and put black substrate next to black binding.
ROOKIE MISTAKE!
