I decided to use Sitka for this "Yanase Cedar Project" guitar top.



Routed the channels.



Preparing the rosette material.





Half done.



Carving as usual.



Done!

The top is braced.



And started to make multiple bindings.
L to R, b/w/b/ Yanase Cedar /b/w/b/ Ebony.
Maybe I'm using a piece of needless b...



Laminating.





Preparing for slicing.



Sliced and sanded.



Bent!



I think these will nicely fit to the multiple sides and back.
