Do any of you make your own purfling? Even down to the .010 inch thick stuff? How do you do that?
Curious if I could do that...

I buy mine. Life is too short to play with making thin strips of wood. But to each his own. If you have the time and find that sort of thing fun then go for it.
I also don't make my own tuners, fret wire, strap buttons, solvents, truss rods, bolts or strings although a person could make such things if so inclined. The strings would be tough though. Could get goats I suppose and... well maybe not. Too messy.

What is purfling used for...does it improve the sound or playability? does it add strength to the construction (in the rosette may be) but on the rest of the build it is just ornamental..innit
