Default Cleaning up the top

Here is the first picture of the top since I finished the french polishing. I carved out the Snakewood bridge today to go with the Snakewood fretboard:



Snakewood is some serious wood. It is hard as a rock and polishes up like a gem stone. There are no pores to be found which makes it perfect for a handled wood like fretboards and bridges. It's heavy so I'm doing some extra carving on the bridge to keep the weight within the range I want.

Thanks for viewing!
Mark
