Thank you all!

Very much so, I've done some intense planing on this bench with no movement

I've also made significant progress on a Torres inspired small bodied guitar:

The fingerboard, headplate, bridge, and binding are all Madagascan rosewood!

Beautiful woods and working Brian, seeing this thread again reminded me of friends who live in Moraleda de Zafayona, just the other side of Santa Fe, off the a92.

He used to live in Malaga, but at my request we went to the Generalife, Alhambra one day and they fell in love with the area so moved there by the time we returned to visit them.

I hope you are safe and well, and enjoying the delights of Andalucia.

My first guitar is finally back from the polisher in Granada. I spent yesterday finalizing the fret work and today I finalized the set up. Here are some photos; the madagascan back and sides have proven difficult to photograph...
