Today I completed the major constructon and put on the first sealer coat, which is when the wood requires little to no imagination to envision it's true coloration.





The photo of the beautiful back of this guitar reminds me of one of the amazing butterflies or moths I sometimes see with the camouflage eyes on their wings to deter potential attackers. Cool.
