What I have done, someone mentioned it here first, is inlay a larger ring before cutting the soundhole. The top has to be thick enough that you can inlay the hardwood ring a few thousandths thicker than your soundboard will be when you thin it down. So for example, the top is .125 and you inlay a ring that is .115 and then cut your soundhole. Then take the top down to .110. It looks like the hole was bound but it wasn’t. Now, what you end up with is that the edge of the sound hole is now endgrain, which some may not like. I even heard someone say the endgrain can affect tone (might be a stretch  ).Make sense?

Here is where I saw it first I think. Jay’s comment about half way down: Soundhole reinforcement https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic? ... source=app Hopefully that link works.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

The technique also works for a piece of binding Ed |
