It’d be interesting to see how your signature features work with the mod d

Had a productive day in the shop today. I bent all the sides and cutaway.





I had a little time in the evening at the shop and was able to laminate the sides. They will be ready to assemble tomorrow.

I was able to get the rims done last week. I'm loving the shape of the MD. Next will be doing the rosette. I'll be doing my tiled rosette which the pieces to make this rosette are here pictured with the sides.





Here are some pics of my tiled rosette I did recently.





Thanks for looking!

Smile Dimensions?

Did I miss the dimensions somewhere? It is going to be a beauty, for sure.
Thanks for sharing

BTW, I LOVE the shot of the molds! Very artistic, indeed.

Cheers

Paul

Love how the tiled rosette ties into the inlay at the 12th fret. Beautiful!
