Re: #2 done. EIR/carpathian OM
Thanks for the kind words. I forgot to mention it has a mahogany dovetail neck 1 3/4 nut and 2 3/16 bridge string spacing. This is the second dovetail neck I've done and both have gone very smoothly using the technique from John Halls videos. Thanks again John! Here are close ups of the rosette and bridge. This is the second bridge I've made; I like the way this one came out.
I'm already started on #3. It will be an Aussie blackwood/carpathian OM with the body depth increased 1/4". Sides are bent, top and back joined and thicknessed. I'm just doing some cleanup sanding on the sides before glueing in the blocks.

Chuck you hit a home run with this one. I love that back. It is awesome! Sounds like #3 is going to be a great combination of woods too.

Very nice, I'm just starting one with the same wood combo except the blood wood will be curly maple on mine.
