By the way my great mentor, Sergei de Jonge, is the first builder who used snakewood for guitars.

Ryo,
I love the chip carving. Will you have other chip carving elsewhere on the guitar to compliment this theme?

So do I.
No, I won't. But why not?
I might have ones on end graft and headstock one day.
Thanks for the idea Mr.McKnight.

The rosette is beautiful! The chip carving is exquisite and reminiscent of 16th century European lute roses.
