And you do proper justice to the materials you are using. Awesome work!

Thanks Edwinson, that's quite a compliment! Who gets to work with better stuff than luthiers? It's the materials that are so inspiring.

Well we're going with black ebony binding which should bring out the black in the BRW grain lines and highlight the body lines, and to add some sparkle the top, back, and sides are getting blue paua abalone purfling. I'm not too worried about overpowering all that BRW figure. I'm expecting it to all play nicely together!

The sides are pretty well quarter sawn, which helps but, I have to say those didn't line up by accident. Thanks!
