Irvin Guitars 'SJ' build thread 'the sunset'
This is my first posting of one of my builds. It is of my small jumbo shape. Ovangkol back and sides, sitka spruce top with padauk binding. My wife came up with the rosette concept we titled 'the sunset', utilizing all the tonewoods in the build. Hope you enjoy. I will start with a few photos today and add to this thread over the next few days.

Very nice! I really like that rosette. That portrait of the twins is "frame-able" and at least worthy of a calendar. BTW, did that idea every get off the ground here at AGF?
