Another fun Hatcher build to follow and enjoy! Love that redwood and the story behind it. A deep body 00 is one of my favorite shapes and sizes in guitars.
Best, Jayne |

Typically mahogany is lighter than rosewood. Just sayin'.
That redwood top is mouth watering. This whole project is just too exciting, Mark - I'm going to be following closely!

Given the stated nod to years past, will this be x-braced (Martin X), or fan braced (Martin Ditson), or ... ?

Great! Thanks for commenting.
Thanks s2y, Me too! Quote:
I could help you with that! This will be a non-scalloped X braced guitar. This is what I get the best results from on a steel string guitar. Thanks!

More Top
I worked on the top today. I joined the top halves Friday so first thing is to cut out the profile a little proud of the final size:
Then comes the rosette. I am going with a pretty traditional design which will be black and white purfling lines and a simple Bloodwood ring: Thanks for viewing! Mark

Back n sides
200 year old Brazilian RW would make for a perfect pairing with that redwood.
Better if it is of dark chocolate type.

I have a Brazilian Rosewood back and side set from an old church which is older than 200 years. I consider it the crown jewel of my wood stash. I’ve had it for years. I am planning to make a guitar with it when I am older. When I get the feeling that the peak of my building skill is cresting. In other words, I’m in absolutely no rush to use it!
