Jack sent me a couple more pictures today and a video tour of his new place.

Jack said he adjusted the x-bracing slightly because the King Billy Pine is not quite as stiff as spruce along the grain, but quite stiff across the grain.



Jack has just recently moved his shop to Boolarra, Victoria, Australia, about 30-40 miles southeast from where his old shop was in Cockatoo.
The view out his back door is really lovely with rolling hills, a variety of trees, and a little river.

Looking forward to seeing this zouk come together...
Thanks! The first zouk Jack built me is a wonderful instrument and I expect this to be just as spectacular.
I'm really looking forward to playing this one day soon.
