It's my latest completed instrument, built mainly to give some flawed guitar woods a good home, and sounds much better than I expected it would :) http://www.luthiersforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10130&t=41908

Here are three butt shots. Still working on the bocote guitar; finish on all three is French polish (not high gloss). I thought about adding a 4th butt shot, but I chickened out. Tony, where are you?

Pretty dang nice for a first! [:Y:]

_________________
The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Lovely work, everyone! Greg, I really like the look of that spalted piece (or whatever it is). Gorgeous!

Here's my latest--ebony accents on white oak:

Ed,

In your first picture--what wood is that for the binding/end graft/back strip? I really like that!
