My fourth, a size 2

My fourth guitar is from a Martin size 2 template. I'll be doing even more of this one from scratch, including the neck. I'm behind in posting here.

Bending the sides. Damp wood wrapped in parchment paper topped by an aluminum slat. Then into the form. Walnut bends nicely.

Neck and tail block in. Kerfing and side bracing in.

Coming along. Created the rosette from red heart. Thanks to Eric Schaefer for the radial method he uses.

Box closed. Working on the bindings.

Nice. Redheart, or bloodwood bindings?

Thanks. It's Redheart.

Really nice. I like the rosette and the contrast of the redheart with the rest of the guitar.
