Don, Thanks for the compliment.

Hesh, The gold purfling is Ceylon satinwood I milled myself-It has incredible "shimmer" and color,nothing like it-one of my favorite woods.
This is the same shop I have have been in.

Looking great!

The back and sides turned much darker after finishing.

What kind of wood and finish are on this one?

Wow, Brad!!! This may be my favorite guitar I've seen on the forum. I love the wood and the look of that satinwood is super. It has a very vintage look. Are you selling that purfling?

Steve,
Yes, the rosette is pink ivory wiith sapwood.

Scooter,
It is Brazilian rosewood-I just put some water on it for the picture (and to raise the grain for sanding).
I am going to use either brushed varnish or French polish for the first time-I've only used nitro up to this point.

Ron,
I have more of the satinwood,if you want some I would be glad to sell it to you.Email me if you are interested.
Thanks,
Brad
