I will send more picts when finished.
There is an abalone pufrling and rosette. Also the fretboard is bound with
the abalone and the line continues up the headstock
Just a taste for now.....I just love the look of the ebony.
I am a bit biased.

Hey
Lance posted prelim picts...
When in Rome.....
Andy

BTW the ebony was easy to bend.
One of the sides warped a bit, so I put it back in the bender.
Reheated and left in the bender for 2-3 hours to cool and it was fine.
I have one of Johns benders. I used the wet craft paper technique
