Tnanks all for your feedback. I will post some pictures of the back and front later tonight. The box is done except for the binding. The neck is half way home but I cheated and bought one of those Guilde necks on eBay and finished it off. Brazilian FB, head plate veneer and bridge - nice match from Zootman - dark. I am most excited about the bindings which I have made using some of the heartwood from the side cuts - will show some pics of that as well. Enough for now - need to get back to the day job |

Some more pics as promised 
This is a shot of the bindings which I am currently working on. You can see the rosewood fading into the hearwood on the tops and the bottoms are all heartwood. Now if I can only get the miters right!!! Always a challenge for me. Thinking of going with a red rose paua all around the top and back which matches the rosette. Need to find some teflon strips to match. Thinner than usual stuff. |
