I just finished this one & snapped a couple of pictures. The koa is so nice, I couldn't resist posting. The B/S set is from Bruce Kreps at Notable Tonewoods.

Thanks for the kind comments. Several folks asked to see the slot head, so pics posted below. My apologies for no inlay. It's the next skill I need to develop. The tuners are Waverley 3-on-a-plate with snakewood buttons. The buttons are a nice complement to the koa.

Very nice! The Koa is great, but so is that Sitka.
And are those maple bindings? Good match for the sapwood center.
Tasty...really tasty.
