Default Build Thread: Baranik PX, Blue Spruce and Mahogany

I'm a huge Baranik fan, as all 2 people that pay any regular attention to my posts will know. Although I liked Mike's Retreaux at HGF this year, I wanted something a hair larger, and I think the PX is pretty much right there. It's close to a 00 in dimensions, but features a 13 fret neck join, asymmetrical design, and 25.6" scale length. Mike will be starting on this guitar next week.

Specs:

Top: Blue spruce
B&S: Mahogany (possible lightly figured)
Decorations: Deco-style tiles with ivoroid
Bridge: Ebony, pyramid
Tuners: Open-back TBD
Frets: EVO
Nut: 1 3/4"
Saddle: 2 5/16"
Fretboard: Ebony
Side port: TBD
Case: Just in case

I will be shamelessly copying (or rather, Mike will be copying, nee repeating) the deco work he displayed on this amazing parlor at HGF.
