Hi Mark,
I'm a huge admirer of your work, and really appreciate the time you take to document your great builds. There's a beautiful elegance to your designs and executions that I love (and your photography too!).
I really like your slothead design----it definitely looks Hatcher-esque. Two questions about it for you. One of the things I love about your steel string paddlehead design is how you've designed it so there's a straight shot from each nut slot to each tuner post for each string. Seems like that would support the best seating possible for each string in each slot, and you really don't see that in many steel string designs. Can you achieve close to the same thing with your slothead design?
The other thing I'm curious about is whether or not you'll be able to use your laminated neck design with the slothead. I can't tell if there's enough mahogany there to keep the laminates from showing on the insides of each slot.
Thanks again for sharing your beautiful builds and photography!
John
