Hey everyone,

I was out of the shop for a little over six months to try and help my mother get into a little better of a financial position, but I'm back to making dust now and wanted to share the latest build I'm working on. It's an MJ with EIR back and sides and an engleman spruce top.



I still have to install the back binding and purfling


I've been calling this the soundhole necklace This one is koa and EIR.


African blackwood binding and koa/EIR purfling




I've been wanting to try a binding switch on a guitar for a while, but haven't been able to come up with a design I liked. I did this the other day and was really happy with it. The binding switches from ABW to EIR.


Thanks so much for looking guys

Andrew,

Like the "necklace" and the binding switch ideas. Nicely done! Good to see you back at it - and obviously making good progress.

John

Very nice. I also like the rosette necklace and binding switch. That rosette really looks nice. Looks like it woulda took a little time to make its very detailed. Can't wait to see what else you do on it.
