The body is back from California with a beautiful, shiny new French polish finish.




Gotta love the colors in this set of Brazilian rosewood. Tom tells me it was probably harvested in the 1920's, nearly 100 years ago. Well quarter-sawn wood with that much age on it makes it a bit more fragile, but with sustain and overtones superior to any other wood in his stash.




Very pleased with the rosette's rich colors under finish...
