Number 5 is done. A Koa and cedar 00
I've finally finished my Koa/cedar 00. The finishing took longer withe this one. I pore filled with zpoxy and padded on Royal Lac. Not perfect, but that's my inexperience. I do like the overall look of the woods and I am impressed with the warm tone. I also like the sound projection from the sound port. Definitely louder to the players ear.
The particulars:
Martin style 00
25.4 scale
Koa back and sides
Sinker cedar top
Spanish cedar kerfing
Spruce braces
Purpleheart/abalone rosette
B. Rosewood/purpleheart bridge
Purpleheart end wedge
Cocbolo head plate
B. Rosewood back side head plate
Mahogany neck
Wenge fingerboard with canary binding
Wenge bindings with wbw purfling
Buffalo horn nut and saddle
Rosewood pins

Thanks for all the nice comments. This has quickly become my favorite to play as well. The first I've played with a sound port and I have to say I like the volume that I hear.
