This mahogany, which I do believe I have built with several times, is slaying me it’s so exquisite. I do hope it’s not dementia . . .

I really appreciate the looks of perfectly quartered, straight, non-figured Mahogany. It’s a treat when you look at it really close, as in the photo by the end graft. Wonderful looking guitar Bruce.

I love exotic and unusual materials, but my ideal is still simple, high-quality materials carefully prepped and assembled by the hands of a master - that mahogany is beautiful, and the guitar is stunning!

Looks like John changed his mind about the trophy desk.
Here's the H.mah. 000 neck with its 4th coat of oil varnish:

I share Chuck’s opinion on the end graph photo. The wood is wild up close. Thanks Bruce and have a great 4th!

The action has been strong and constant over in 2/5/1’s Myrtle 000 thread, but of course that doesn’t contain a lot of news about what else is going on in my shop.
Jmat’s Hmah 000 is almost a week into its finish cure period already! I have removed the stuffing that keeps the varnish out of the inside and tapped on it some. It is extremely promising and I doubt it will fail to live up to the the promise that the Myrtle guitar suggests. We do have a different tonal target however, hoping for the traditional dry Martin prewar character. We won’t know how accurate my aim is till the strings go on in another 3 weeks or so. Meanwhile, my next customer, Jamiejoon, came by yesterday and we are clear about his build, so I will commence on Monday, most likely. This will be a JB-15, not entirely unlike Tadol’s recent success, but rendered in European Pear and most likely with a European top. . . Unless I find an Adi top that seems better. I have a lot of great tops in the wood locker.

Given my results the first two tries with Pear, I have extremely high expectations.
