"be able to go through some workshop incidents and try again. And again. And again..."
I have sanded the rosette of the OM Pao Ferro and unfortunately... a Purfling deflect apeared. I generally want to blame tools, machinery, wood, or even God, but this one is on me... well, it will be a great adition on the wall of the workshop, as decorative element (siiigh...)
So, because I've felt sorry for my customer, I've decided to upgrade the "bearclaw option" for his new top, and here is a craziest one. This Sitka Spruce comes from the same batch as the first top, a great material for sure!
The Pao Ferro back, with a Wenge center Stripe, is not too shabby!
Higuerilla & Pao Ferro. A thin rosette is way much harder to do than the large one... but it became my favorite. Simplicity is the key, but always with a certain amount of taste.
