Set the height of the cut to just remove all the rosewood, so the binding butts against the maple. This is actually a pretty easy job and would be even easier if it was done prior to radiusing the fretboard. Notice that the neck still has a square back. Those same pieces of binding are going to get glued on later. You want to go in one long smooth run rather than nibble at it you’re not taking such a big bite that you can’t do it in one pass. The neck is stuck onto a piece of 2×4 for clearance, and the whole arrangement is inside a big box to catch most of the mess. I’ve taped two strips of scrap binding to the top of the fretboard to act as guides, since it is already radiused and otherwise the router would rock on the curve. I decided that two of my Audiovoxen should have bound necks to go with the bound bodies, because binding is really super classy.
