My second one: A maple 00 14 fret

I've just started my second kit, a KMG 00 14 fret maple kit with rosewood fingerboard and accents. I'll probably post a lot of pictures because, well, I like to. I know I enjoy seeing progress pictures so I hope I'm not overdoing it. I'm also starting a third one (this is addicting!) that I'll document separately. That will be my first scratch build (mostly).

You can never EVER post too many photos! I say that as an avid amateur photographer, and as a person who likes to photograph every little step, for later reference.

Your build is looking really good and I look forward to more photos.

Not to get off of the subject, but here is a photo library of photos I've taken around West Virginia. http://s141.photobucket.com/user/kauffm ... t=6&page=1

Got the rim sloped and contoured. Getting ready to glue in the rosette. It's all wood and I'm worried about the black bleeding into the top eithe when I glue and/or when sanding. Any tips?

Tried to look at your photos but it says the link doesn't exist.

Got the rosette glued in last night. Came out nice. Starting on the top bracing later today.

The top is looking great. A light coat of shellac will keep the top clean and the black from your rosette from causing problems.
