We're lucky to use such wonderful wood aren't we Tim? I think this koa is going to get a lot more interesting under a finish!

I'll post again in a few days ... and see how the wood pops after a few sessions of French Polishing the shellac.

Hey Kenneth ... thanks ... the shellac really brought out the depth ... and more figure than I figured!

Since my customer limited me to ebony for the accents on this guitar, I tried to find some interesting grain patterns for the rose, truss rod cover and heel cap, just to add a bit of spice.

How can one little piece of wood be so pretty? What a nice detailed touch Mr. Wren!

Agreed! But you know what's really impressive? Look how clean that workbench is. Sheesh! Nary a speck of dust or clutter anywhere.
