Thanks Tom!

Here's another pic. I decided to add a little something to the bevel and port. Keep in mind that the inlay will be engraved...

Tony,

This guitar is coming out beautiful!!! I love all the little design elements you have added. The vine inlays on the guitar body are very classy and the little hummingbird was a great addition on the soundport. I can't wait to see the completed guitar, this one is really special! I hope you have recovered from your "Miteritis" I would get miteritis too if I had to complete that many miters!

Jim

Hey gang, This week I worked on designing some inlay for the fingerboard. I also had to stop and repair my radius jig which put me a little behind schedule. So any rumors of me being abducted by aliens is not true...at least that's how I remember the week. Anyway....

Thank you Dave!

So I've been working for a few days on the headstock inlay and managed to finish up the cutting this morning. Here's the progress so far...



I nearly used a whole pack of rolling papers for this...No, they're for tracing,

Here's an example of how small some of the pieces were...



Now that all the pieces are cut, it's time to engrave the face under a stereo microscope...
