[Kenneth Casper]

I finished binding and got both guitars leveled and sanded. I work very meticulously to get nice tight joints, but I am never really certain how well I did until I level and sand. It is sort of like an unveiling. No issues with these as the joints and seams are tight with nice straight lines. The osage orange really pops under some mineral spirits.

Others have mentioned, and I believe I have before as well. Being a luthier gives me a chance to work with some really nice woods. I admit I do get a bit of a rush after the bodies are bound, purfled, and sanded, and I swab them with mineral spirits to pop the color and grain.

Enjoy the pix and thanks for dropping by! The third guitar is a cherry Huron. I slipped it in to get pictures of all three bodies I have been working on.
