Tunnel 13 redwood SJ from Irvin Guitars (sound clip added)
To all my AGF friends, I just wanted to post some photos of my most recent build. This is my small jumbo model. Tunnel 13 redwood top paired with Indian rosewood, ebony bindings. I must say the redwood creates a sound that I am absolutely in love with. The eternally long sustain and clarity of each note is quite inspiring. I will try and post a sound clip soon. Thanks for viewing.

I completely agree! That’s a great combination with the Indian Rosewood too.

Wayne, that's a beauty. Congrats! What is the top purfling, by the way?

Thanks Steve! For the top trim that you're asking about, I took trim from the sides to create the purfling strip highlighted in the photo. I get it to the size I want and then bend it with the bindings. I like doing that when I can as it ties aesthetically to the woods involved.
