Default FT-000-C in Pernambuco and Italian spruce

This morning I went out and got what I expect to be the final 20 gallons of propane needed to keep my shop warm for what is left of the so-called winter here in California. Then I put the second coat of varnish onto the Concert Uke. In a few minutes a fellow is coming by to return one of the two guitars I loaned him a couple of weeks ago and settle up on the other. Always a good day when that happens!

But the real news is I am starting another commission today.

This will be my 000 guitar with a cutaway and a slothead rendered in my best Pernambuco and a fine set of Martin Guhl AAA German spruce. The customer visited the shop a few weeks ago and we spent a lovely afternoon working out the details and hand picking the materials from my woodlocker. We also picked the binding material, which will be the last of my (probable) D. camatillo.

Here is a photo just before I actually start the "Work":
