Really coming together nicely, Ben, and looking great under finish! I like all of your detailing, especially the backstrip / endgraft transition. Thanks for sharing...

Hey Nenoman, I really appreciate your great comments, thank you very much.

Glad you like my instrument, It is just the 3rd of the workshop and of course I need to improve my self a lot when I take a look to the other builders but I hope that my path will allow me to do that

Ben, this is looking fantastic!

Looks like you got some beautiful woods there, and I love the inlay work

Hey Jon!

The Ziricote OM built for you by Ray is insane! You have a great taste in terms of wood

Thanks for the kind words, I am very lucky to work with this stuff, I really loved this set. Let's see its sound!
