Thank you very much David-san.
I quite like this multiple bindings.

That, sir, is a work of art! If I owned it, I'd be too scared to even pick it up! Congratulations on the birth of such a beautify "baby"

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. What I especially love about your vision is that while your designs are complex and highly decorative, the effects themselves are not stark or assertive and harmonize rather than overpowering the viewer. For instance, your 12th fret "block" (the one with the angled, light lines) fulfills its function wonderfully -- it's visible enough -- but doesn't scream "look at me!!!" the way some flamboyant inlays do. Your work has inspiring integrity and a remarkable aesthetic. Much success to you, sir!

That is remarkable artisanry. Amazingly complex and visually alluring. And the chip carving around the rosette is fantastic. Talk about about a courageous move by the maker....one slip up and that thing is ruined!

Thank you very much.
I have designed the chip carving pattern since 2008 and have tweaked a lot.
What I always try to do is to make complex design look not so busy.
Here's my early design.

Thank you Dave!
Oh, is it ok to call you "Dave?"
I'm not sure you remember it or not but I've met you a couple of times when I was doing an apprenticeship under Sergei.
It's an honor to have a comment from such a great maker like you.
I hope I can see you again in the near the future...
Thank you!!
