As you wish!

Here are some shots of bowl sanding, and gluing the plates to the rim.

That's really looking nice ... the wood and backstripe and purfling all accentuate it perfectly!!

Great job...

Fitting the endgraft and setting the neck. Lots of final sanding and details and it'll be off to finish today.

How do you measure that end graft to be so flush?

Very carefully.

Seriously it's just a caliper, a pencil, and making small adjustments. The first few I did this way (which I first saw from Bruce S.) it took me much longer, and the fit wasn't as good. I've gotten used to it over time and it's pretty easy now.

Last shots before finish. I'll have more in 3-4 weeks.
