thanks again, Tom! I'm hoping Joel will chime in soon to share some of his thoughts and inspiration behind this build.

Thanks, GR, I am in agreement with you..."some miss the mark" for sure. I'm exceptionally pleased with this effort. I'm even more excited with anticipation of how the rosette will, both, enhance the rest of the aesthetic embellishments and be highlighted itself even more because of those other embellishments. I believe this is really going to come together exceeding my expectations by far.

Hi Mike, thanks for looking in on the build thread. I appreciate the comments and agree, I'm floored with the crazy quality of this maple! I'm really excited about the possibilities for great tone that Joel is going to pull out of this wood combination. He's working now on voicing the top. More good stuff to come
