Even with my respirator, I inhale enough fumes to know when it's finishing time. This one is a blue archtop.

Thanks, all. This one has been a long time in the works. Several years. Most of that time was spent building new jigs, setting up CNC and getting my CAD and CAM files prepared, and generally fixing my process. This is the prototype. It's far from my first guitar or archtop, but it's the first one with the new process. There will be more changes to the process, but for now, this guitar is starting to look pretty good!
