Hey all,

Here's one I'm working on that I've been really excited about. The buckskin redwood top is about as spot on as you can get to what I look for when it comes to aesthetics. Strangely enough, I'm always drawn to things that are considered flaws in appearance, and those dark lines really got me excited to work with the wood.

Thanks for looking.

Looking great Andrew! You're moving fast

That looks awesome Andrew. I just started a redwood guitar today too, only my top was salvaged from a california party house hot tub

BTW, love your rosette

Thanks man. That top looks great. It's got a lot of character to it, and it sounds like it's previous resting place does too

Thank you.
It's something I came up with last week. I call it the "modern growth" look. I was looking into doing a flower inlay, and while sketching one out it evolved into that. I wanted something that looked organic in some way but was more nontraditional. I'll be doing more of those. I've drawn out about 10 or so over the last week.

Here's another one that will be going out for finish within the next couple weeks.

Thanks for looking

Things are looking great, Andrew. I'm very happy to see you being so productive and keeping a lineage alive.

The inlay on the first guitar is gorgeous.

Thanks for the encouragement. Things are moving slowly, but there's movement none the less.
