We’ll it’s not perfect but I finally made my own maple binding instead paying for the pre cut stuff.
It wasn’t hard to rip them now that I have a nice table saw. Then get to exact thickness in the drum sander. I could have done a better job on the channels but was happy to get it all in with side and top/back purfling. Couple of thin spots and gaps to improve on next time.

Re: Home made binding
There you go.
I've made lots of binding just that way and also from the cut offs of sides. A great place to get a set of bindings from. And they are already almost to thickness too.
EIR, walnut, sapele I've made from sides after cutting to shape.

Very nice job, and something I should be doing.
