I love the Kinnaird west bridge shape,and asked John if I could have one, but he was reluctant to say the least. Thought you guys might like to know...
What a magnificent axe! Dennis you must be over the moon!

Thanks Mike. Have to say, your Black & White Ebony piece is looking pretty darn awesome! How lucky we are to have such talent brought to bear on our instruments!

Got the last of the binding done today (sorry no pic) and now we're on to the finishing touches for that arm bevel.
And then, 10,000 LV tiles to cut and install. Ahh...the life of a luthier!

A tough life. But I'm certainly happy to have you and Ryan working so hard for me.

Hey Pete! Glad to have you following along. Thanks for the well wishes!
The binding is wrapping up. Here Steve is placing the bwb purfling just before adding the binding at the top of the cutaway.
And here some binding sanding on the horn.
On to the arm bevel where Steve is leveling before the Ebony tiles are placed.
Placement of the first Ebony tile on the bevel.
And in this pic, Ryan is drilling for an internal dowel in the heel. This helps lock the inserts into place and provides some extra stiffness.
