The 1890s 0-28 that I am trying to copy has very small herringbone binding. The binding is about 0.110 inches wide, and there are approximately 13 herringbones per inch. The smallest that I have, has about 9 "bones" per inch. Is the smaller binding available? Does anyone have a source? Would anyone actually notice if I used the larger stuff? Thanks.

I would find an exact replica if possible. You might try people who make custom rosettes.
Gurian may have it or something close.
I finally found appropriate herringbone. It came from TOUCHSTONE TONEWOODS in the UK. It is very high quality, beautifully packaged, and remarkably similar to that on the 1893 Martin 0-28. With the current exchange rate, it wasn't all that expensive.
