Beautiful, unfinished and finished
A few shots I really like. I am sure it will be beautiful in its finished state, but there is something magnetic about the unfinished instrument that makes me want to hold it and admire it. I love wood, and a shot like this makes me want to trace the contours of the craftsman's work and admire how it has come together in his hands.
Even so, who can argue with how a little hand rubbed finish brings out the grain of the rosewood? And Michael's signature "semicircle tab", which did not stand out in unfinished form, announces itself as finishing begins. If you squint the right way, the semicircle tab looks like the sun, or moon, passing through the canopy of the maple forest, while the stronger tiger striping at the base of the maple backdrop adds color value to the lower half of the headstock and draws the eye down and through the marquetry.

I'd say that's a done deal!

Hey Col, thanks for letting me know - please try again? They are coming up ok for me on the website and on the app. Also, I did have this issue once on AGF and had to log out and log back in again.

I logged in from another browser and was able to replicate the image fail. The links to google photos may be broken - I may need to upload the pics into AGF.
Bob, it could be that you and I grabbed the images into a cache and its loading from there. I'm betting if you emptied your cache it would break like it did when I logged in from Firefox (normally use Chrome). Apologies folks, this may take some time to fix!

Post #91 appears to be fixed now - working backwards.

And it should all be working now - looks like Google broke links going back to post #60. Maybe I need to find a better way to link these.
Thanks for the heads up - if you see any more broken links please post here and I'll try to fix them!

Somewhat frustratingly, Google updated the links to all my album photos - so I've gone back and reinserted the links so hopefully all is ok now!

Hi everyone - I found a different way to insert dynamic links and so missing images in posts 70 through 90 should be back now. If that's not the case for you please let me know.
