And too bring it up to date. This is showing my attempt at adding radial purfling.

The plans I used are the OLF SJ (small jumbo) plans. I don't recall exactly which Gibson model these plans are supposed to resemble. I'm sure someone here familiar with the plans could chime in.

So I'm trying to understand the radial purfling. Is it basically cutting slices of wood cross-grain, and breaking it into the channel like you would with pearl purfling? It looks really cool.
