Thanks Steve...

The fiddleback figure in the mahogany is so beautiful on its own 1) leaving it au naturale is a great choice. Alternatively, 2) a slight classic reddish tint might bring out the figure and tie in the red hues of the Cocobolo binding and trim. Lastly, 3) perhaps some form of translucent burst or fade might show the wood and add some dimensional interest.

I think we will wait to see what it looks like complete in "white".

As for tinting the body, do a similar swoop on the back. Darker on upper left, lighter on lower right.
Or not...
