Here are some progress pictures of my Padauk parlor. I have closed up the body with a Swiss Moon Spruce top;
I'm trimming the guitar in Black Ebony;
Trying something new on my front strap button facet. I'm using a little more ebony and sculpting to remove some of the "step" between the heel of the neck and the cutaway. I like the flow of the line up top in this next pic without the "step";
I used some of the same Padauk to make the radial purfling for the top:
Thanks for viewing!
