He referred to the compression grain as color streaking, and I'll abide by his expertise. I wasn't 100% sure it was compression grain, but took a stab. The best example of compression grain I've seen is some of the newer adirondack on Martins. There are a few threads about it over on the Log Cabin on UMGF if you're interested.

If what you are referring to is the streaking of color in the top then I haven't heard of it referred to as "Compression Grain", but have always heard it as "Winter Growth". Personally, I love it. When I commissioned my Frog I told Michael that I wanted him to choose the top he thought suitable for my needs and if it had winter growth or any other perceived "imperfections" all the better Here is a shot of my Frog's top:

I will have to go over to the UMGF to check out the threads on compression grain. Thanks for the heads up.

BTW, congrats on your build! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Very cool build. Interesting that Mike is using manchinga as a plug wood.

Thanks guys. Another unique aspect of this build is that I convinced Mike to use hot hide glue, which without putting words in his mouth I think was a new experience for him. Whether hide glue is voodoo or all inside my head or the real thing, I just don't know. What I do know is that I'm a disciple. I only have one non hide glue guitar right now. It's just so light, and dries sooo hard, with no cold creep, and is super easy to repair with. The disadvantage is that it's kind of a hassle to keep warm and the set time is only a minute or two.

He's using HHG for the critical aspects of the construction; bracing, bridge, rim etc.

Looking great! Keep the pictures coming. You are in for a treat. My Baranik is one of the finest guitars I have gotten my hands on.

We should have photos in a few days of the rosette, which was inspired by this:
