Well, I have been promising to have this playable by Stringfest, and I am on track
I took some photos of closing the box and such, but they seem kinda redundant, so I will just show where I am at the moment. I have been working steadily between visitors, beer brewing, and all the rest. I finished the bindings yesterday and sanded the box. Today, I shellac sealed the top and did an epoxy fill on the back and sides.

A bit rough here and there, but I will sand it smooth tomorrow and start putting on some finish. With the epoxy on, I see that the back actually has a quilt figure, but the photos don't show it well.
I also inlayed the pegheads for the 2 necks (one with phosphor bronze frets and one with beryllium copper) and drilled the tuner holes.

I will finish the peghead shape and start neck carving in the next couple days. Then finish making the bridge and start putting this together this weekend. Should have it strung up a few days before folks get here.
Thanks for looking,
G
