Today I started the neck on the P OM . . . but mainly I 1500 gritted the body on Vic's 000 and buffed it out:

There are those who discount a top with visible run out in it, but I am not among them. I am quite please with having located the most fiber aligned part of this top just below the bridge in the center of the belly. This is the last of the 50 Rivolta "E grade" tops (their best) Eric Schoenberg and I bought together in 2002, and therefore arguably the worst of the batch.







Trying to get the beautiful color of this Mahogany is challenging.
