I haven't posted anything lately on the forum other than a few hello's and goodbye's, so I thought it was time to post a few pics of what I have been busy with. I am currently building 2 Koa OM styles guitars, one will be for my older brother, and the other one.... , ....well just because I had the wood? . :-) > what can I say, must be some kind of sickness.
The one Koa OM with the ebony bindings will be for my bro. The Koa OM with the curly binding will probably go up for sale someday.(?) There is also a rosewood Dred in one of the pictures, I am currently working on that one as well, I completed this guitar back in early November, wonderful little gem it was, but to make a long, long story real, real short, I had to replace the top on it, my fault on that one, I chose a pretty questionable top , and it bit me in the poo poo, so now I have got a new Englemann top on it now with herringbone purf and I will be moving all 3 into the finish process next. All three have been sealed with 2 coats of vinyl sealer to date and that's where I sit.
I will certainly try to post more often during builds instead of three months later, ( one of my new years resolutions that I just started today!)

Nice, I am always amazed when I see people working on multiple instruments at the same time. I am so disorganized that I have problems doing more than one.

Nice Jeff, I too John am amazed. It would be fun to try though, but not enough time.

Re: I am just doing what I do...
Thanks guys for the comments. I found that doing 2 or 3 at at time is beneficial to me as I have a very small shop to work with , 12' x 16', and have only 3 benches or work stations, so when I set up for a certain task, it is just easier for me to do them that way so I am not setting up and breaking down my jigs and such as much. And John, I am not the most organized either, but having the small shop like I do has helped me with that, it can get cluttered real quick if I don't stay on myself!
