Thanks Treenewt. Those natural materials certainly have a lot of natural beauty that wants to shine through! Thanks for commenting.

Default Frets and Bones
I have the frets installed and we have selected the bones for the nut and saddle:


On this guitar we went with Buffalo bone. It is a bit harder than regular bone which sounds a little brighter. It's a good tonal match for this Redwood top.
The mottled amber color goes nicely with the rest of the guitar
