Default Binding Leveling and Body Sanding
Larry levels the bindings and sands the body. I saw the body in person and it has a wonderful silky, ribbon-and-beeswing mahogany look. It popped nicely under sandpaper...should be even better under finish.

The rosewood bindings are leveled to the body.




The beeswing is poppin' a bit.



The LMI glue shows up under black light so the minute traces can be detected and sanded off.





A few shots of the sanded body.








My 00-12 body and the body of the EIR/Adi dread currently being built.

You're longing to be
But it all comes out on the inside
Eventually
