The bridge meets the guitar and looks mighty fine,
It will match both fretboard, purfling and the bind. I think it is so pretty with all the sapwood, I would not change it even if I could. tx mesquite guitar 85.jpg

It has been a bit since my last update,
I threw the boys some changes, tempting my fate. Of course they were great and Steve went to work, Making my changes with hardly a smirk. This headstock inlay is cut all from wood, Dyed maple for blue, and white holly was good. Cut by hand with a fine jewelry saw, Inlayed with care and done without flaw! tx mesquite guitar 83.jpg tx mesquite guitar 84.jpg tx mesquite guitar 86.jpg tx mesquite guitar 87.jpg

Tom, I would only change one word, and it won’t affect the meter.
“Maple”, not “Poplar”. So: “Dyed maple for blue, white holly was good” SK

Going from delicate inlay to carving a neck,
A little different chore done without misstep. The Tx mesquite is coming along without flaw, Soon off to Michigan for Tony's guitar spa. Using a rasp and spokeshave to get the job done, Steve continues to work with aplomb. While this shaping occurs, Ryan is working, Gluing the fret board and hopefully not twerking!!! (couldn't resist lol) tx mesquite guitar 88.jpg tx mesquite guitar 89.jpg tx mesquite guitar 90.jpg

Seems few are watching, but it is looking quite fine,
Off to Tony she goes and will come back ashine! He is the guru of the finishing world, We go black for a while as he gives her a whirl! tx mesquite guitar 91.jpg tx mesquite guitar 92.jpg

I hope the Mesquite darkens to a wonderful hue. Quote:

I agree and am excited to see what the Mesquite does. When I have used it for projects before, It turns a reddish brown which I adore.

Thanks guys, it’s been a fun build, and your poetry has added another layer of interest. Tom, I was ogling this top today, and found myself wishing I’d bought the entire mast supply. Or at the least, all of that board. It really looks nice,and thumps with a great degree of musical promise.
