A couple more shots of the OM coming together.

Nothing like a left-handed bracing design to confuse the viewer:

Default O (or 'OO') the memories!

Thanks Ryan for leading off with the Mango crossover. You guys (as always) were total champs with that project...and I get more compliments!

But promise me, when you 'officially start' the 00s, we'll have a magical tour of Steve and his slow, but steady, love affair with it.

It is -9F outside and a foot of snow to be shoveled, so it is easy, over a cup of coffee (a home brewed 'black eye'), to wax instead of shovel. But I'll gladly contribute photos of my 00-21 that may have started it all and perhaps how Steve didn't charge me enough for my #10 '0000' AKA 'FS' (numero uno)...he/you still aren't charging enough...

And, as we say, the rest is history!

More gossip on Steve and his 'thing' for 00s, or must I go shovel (outside)?!

Finish coming, but not this week.
WOW! You can see that claw from space! I can't wait to see the b/s finished. Wild awesomeness.

Thanks for the enthusiastic praise, Orfeas!
Both Bearclaw Sitka and Quilted Maple enjoy a spectacular metamorphosis under finish. I'm excited to see them myself.

Well we're jumping back and forth with our two guitars right now, but I thought I would give an update on the finish process for the Maple OM. Here's a couple shots to show off the Bearclaw and the quilting of the Maple.













Thanks

The top's answer to the B&S's magnificent quilting is pretty cool in its own right

By the way, is it OK if I hold my laptop up to a mirror to pretend that lefty is a righty?
