That looks great! Seeing the detail of how it’s done really makes you appreciate the result all the more. Great skill for an excellent result.
Couldn’t agree more on how well it compliments the rosette!

Yes, I knew when the decision was taken to document the bevel sequence that it would get ugly before it got better. Leaving you hanging over the weekend was a risky move, but hey--Steve was in Argentina.... Last edited by TomB'sox; 06-19-2018 at 10:02 AM. Reason: Masked profanity

McJam was a load of fun. Everyone says hi.
Curious, haven’t seen the Indonesian RW OM. Is it finished yet?

Beautiful work, Steve. I'm a big fan of walnut and your guitars in general. Whoever gets this one is one lucky player.

Bridge work! Steve and I have had an ongoing discussion about the bridge for his guitar. Discussion ranged from mechanics to aesthetics, and of course wood selection entered in. So far, the front-runner is Ebony. Here are a few pics of the bridge being built:
IMG_2220.jpg In that pic ^ a few steps are already completed: the blank is thinned, shape is cut, pin holes drilled and saddle slot routed. Next... IMG_2221.jpg ...next ^ the wings have been scooped. Then... IMG_2223.jpg ...then ^ the back is relieved (rounded) with rasps and files. Lastly, after sanding smooth and polishing, we have: IMG_2224.jpg A finished bridge! Thanks for watching, Steve
