Lookin' real good Perry. The materials all work together nicely. I've always wanted to tackle (har-har) one of these myself but haven't the patience to do the wood (or stone in my case) and shell laminate.
The black vs. natural binding is a matter of personal preference I guess. On a very traditional piece I would go with sinew for added authentitcity,but on a more contemporary one the black looks fine.
