did something very similar to a trashed studio and filmed it. You can find the vids (and some of my old kiss tribute stuff) on my page, here.

I was looking into adding binding, but decided not to. If you're going to do it, you may need to sharpen the edge so that you don't have to put super thick binding on there. IMO, leave the binding off, refin it, and enjoy it. Or, you could do the natural binding look.
