various Gurian furniture strips

Gurian produces hundreds of custom and standard binding, purfling, backstrip and marquetry inlay strips for the musical instrument industry, as well as inlay banding for furniture makers.

Our strips are made completely by us in our factory on the Barge in Seattle, Washington USA. Not a single strip comes from anyplace else. They are constructed of premium wood veneers and cellulose, and can come in an almost unlimited combination of dimensions, wood species and colors.

Keep these important details in mind when you order your strips:

  • There is a $200 minimum for custom strips. This is because we have to glue-up full blocks to slice and re-laminate to construct the strips.
  • A layout can yield a wide range; from 30-90 strips! The difference is dependent on design and the height of the strip.
  • Custom designed means that design is yours alone. We do not resell or offer for sale something you’ve designed to anyone but you. This way you have a unique signature added to your instruments, concepts or company.

Please see our Ordering and Shipping page for more details.
