Ken, I took care of that before I glued the back on.
I was dreading bending the Herringbone purfling but it was an easy job after soaking the strip in hot water. I hope it holds it's shape after it dries. I never did any bending before.

I now have the body ready to rout the binding channels. However I had a minor problem with the routing guide attachment. I couldn't tighten the lag bolt properly because it spun in the guide channel (the wood was too soft). So, I chopped off the bottom of the guide and replaced it with a couple of maple rails, which should last a very long time. Here's a picture:
