The fretboard inlay colors and additional abalone will also dress things up quite a bit. Quote:
Thanks for e comments! Mark |
Great work Mark,
Thanks for the nice detail shots. I appreciate the time you put into taking such great photos. My shots from the shop are much more candid. I should at least clean up a bit :) |

Binding
I'm excited to finish up the trim work on this guitar this week. It will be done with Black Ebony and the top will have abalone purfling.
This is the first Penelope I have done with an arm bevel which will also be Black Ebony. The body binding is pretty much all glued in so Monday I'll finish up the arm bevel and clean everything up: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b4abeced_c.jpg Thank for viewing! Mark |
Front Progress Shot
Here are a couple pictures of the Penelope x-over. I've capped the arm bevel and cleaned it up enough for a peak of thing to come:

Hey Mark,
I took a couple of minutes this morning as I was trying to wake up with a cup of coffee to go back through this thread. Thanks for your great posts. First off, you need to have a messier shop, you are making me look bad. I really like the Larry Robinson Inlay on the fretboard. He is an incredible talent. I have sketches somewhere in my office (Please don't show me how organized your office is :)) Anyway, I have hoped to do some sort of (new) vine flower at some point. It will take some inspiration to get the sketches to implementation. Another thing on my list of things to do. The wood sets are gorgeous. I love the tree set and the Bubinga is not too shabby either. On another note, I see you are using the Irwin Quick grip mini bar clamps. You obviously like them. Mine are terrible. They have no clamping power and slip. It is not just one bad one, the whole bunch of them slip. I still have them but only use them when I don't need much pressure. I hate to throw stuff away, but (mine) are junk. |

I started using those Irwin Quick clamps a long time ago when I was building cedar strip kayaks. They were black back then. They worked great then and they work great now. They are lightweight and the clamping force is easily adjustable and I am never short on clamping force. I particularly like how easily they are used one handed. The only slip I ever have is they can slip out of their rubber shoe if I don't line them up correctly. So there you have it, maybe you got stuck with some knock off? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...0b7bd253_c.jpg Thanks for your comments Mark |

"Tree" Josie small jumbo update
I've been quietly working away these past several weeks french polishing the top of this "Tree" Josie small jumbo. I am now getting to the last steps in this process:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f797afdb_c.jpg I've also been picking away at some of the other final details like mounting the gold Waverly slot head tuners with Snakewood buttons: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b1f8d27d_b.jpg I'm really looking forward to seeing this fat lady sing! |
That is looking quite beautiful Mark!
