I am so mad right now at myself for this dumb mistake I made routing the binding channel. I don't know why I went to far and cut into the end graft purflings!! 
Does anyone have any ideas to repair this besides routing out the end graft and making a new one? I really don't want to just trim off the purfs and have no mitres either! Any help out there guys ? 
Figures, Can't get pics to load now! Sheeeesh,what a day! |

If you have the ability to make your bindings a touch taller, you can re route a bit deeper (the depth of the purfs) and then you'll have the miter situation you want. |

Dave, I did the same thing recently on a backstrip purf... If you can't do what Paul suggested, you should just do the end graft again. It's just one step back. Long |

Dave, We've all been there. By far the easiest imho is to make a new end graft with purflings. You don't even need to use the router - careful use of a good sharp chisel should do the job for you. |

Come to think of it, Dave W is right. Far less risk at cutting that out and starting it again. |

That does seem a bit easier than making new bindings, bending them,re-routing and all. Thanks for the help - Bob and Dave. |
