Backs are on, dyed, finished and labeled. Next week will be a rewarding one.

Here's a closeup of the inside detail. I just love the look of the bracesless, linerless back and sides. This design isn't like many laminated backs which are designed to be pure reflectors, this hollow core design makes for very active backs, contributing greatly to the volume and quality of tone.

I like that stark interior look... and that you kept the tabs on the backs so you can hang those shells till the top comes on!

Thanks, I don't always dye the inside as it's a fair bit of extra work to execute in a tidy manner. I do love the look, especially once the box is closed, the interior looks so dark and mysterious!

Not the best light in the shop for photos today. Here's a quick shot of the cocobolo all boxed up. More to follow.

Love the hole process and the black dyed inside gives an elegant and mysterious look indeed.
The mahogany look so sexy !
