Instead of simply posting after the fretboards are bound and complete. I thought I would let you in on some of the in-between details you might not have known about.
Here I have dyed a couple of the fretboards.

What? Ebony is already black? Sorry, there are several types of ebony. I use macassar ebony for fretboards. I believe it is the easiest to work with and transfers the sound through the instrument better than the other ebonies.
Here is one of the fretboards, sans dye, next to the recently dyed fretboards. You can still see a bit of the grain in the dyed fretboards.
