That spalted purfling is gorgeous! I can't tell, is it end grain or side grain? One of my maple trees dropped a big branch last week with lots of good spalted wood up to about 6" diameter, and I've been debating how to cut it up. |

You knocked it out of the park! This is a stunning guitar and Cuban Mahogany is a terrific tone wood. |

When it's like that, it snaps/breaks around the corners easier (like shell) |
