Thanks for the kind words......it's been 2 1/2 years since I won the contest and it's still sinking in. Seeing it at this stage has my excitement level rising rapidly
 I think the builders are probably getting tired of my THANK YOU notes!!

Brock Poling has been kind enough to do some extra work on this as well.....he just sent me pictures of the binding work he's done. The binding itself is Madagascar RW, and it appears an EIR purf was added to the top (I LOVE that look!!!) I think it will tie in with the darker lines in the Koa very well. Many thanks for Brock for going above and beyond with this and keeping me up to date. Next it's off to Rob Bustos at Paragon for neck build and fitting....(fingerboard will also be bound with Madagascar!) Here are the pics of the binding....this is going to be incredibly beautiful under finish!!      Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I just got word from Rob Bustos at Paragon that my Koa has arrived in Vancouver for neck build and fitment......
My pulse just went up about 20 beats I think!! Makes the snow falling outside a little easier to take..... The three year anniversary of the drawing is coming up on May 31st.....been a long road!!

Todd,
I'm obvioulsy late to this party, but this is so cool! I once read a book that had different chapters written by different authors, but it was all one book. That's what this reminds me of. I am very excited for you and it looks like it is coming together unbelievably!! Can't wait to see how it continues! Any projected completion date? Best, Mike
