Here is Isaac installing the rosette...(I will keep my comments to a minimum since I have very little idea what he is doing in the photos actually! LOL)

Hey Pandaroo do I understand you correctly that you are also on Isaac's build list? Or are you referring to your future Doerr build? ( I got the idea from your Keystone thread that you only ordered through Marcus Keystone and Doerr builds in addition to your Benavides.) Whatever the case, I am not sure which is better - the commissioning process or the actual NGD, but both sure enhance each other, and to commission a guitar is so much more fulfilling than just buying a guitar off the shelf whether it is new or used. Yes, you are able to ascertain the tone as a sure thing in the latter case whereas to commission one requires a leap of faith in a sense. But when it pays off, the end result is a much closer sense of participation in the creation of the guitar.

IHere's some Brazilian goodness on display...
I remember reading how English master luthier Sobell's best sets of brazilian rosewood were very dark old growth sets that had even greenish streaks and that rang like slate when tapped. I am no luthier or woodworker but I wqouldnt be surprised if this brazilian was similar to those sets.

The reason for using BRW is in its acoustic properties, but to me, there is no tonewood more lustrous nor as beautiful to me than old growth brazilian rosewood.
