Love the rosette! Looks kinda like tooled leather. The thermal modification sure brings out the sparkle of the medullary "silk."

Oh, and what do you think of the thump/tap/drum of the box, without strings?

It's striking how humble looking the outside is and how dazzling the interior with those 2 cool bracing patterns. Awesome work, Grant. D Thanks for the comment. That will change a bit with the binding. There will be a bark purfling line around the top. That, and a figured ebony fingerboard and pegh...

I got a chance to see the top in-progress yesterday. Just beautiful.

Looking excellent. You make it look easy, Grant.

Great idea, I'll see you this weekend!

I saw that back in person, and knew it was gorgeous (color and "wiggly" grain lines), but didn't see the figure until now. That's gorgeous on steroids.

Nice goin', Joe! Instant antique mojo.

Can't wait to hear some of your blues coming out of that box. Just a few weeks... :~)
