They're all looking very fine! Is the binding walnut?

Yes the binding, bevels and rosette are all cut from the same billet of Walnut.

That is an amazing amount of work and a lot of photos! I love the shot where you are fitting the mitre between the purfling and the binding piece with the back strap!
I agree on the Koa, wow that really came to life. What was the purpose of the line on the face of sound board when you were building the arm bevel if I may ask?

Thanks,
Yes sorry for the great photo dump! I actually started these 3 months ago. The line is for placing the bevel routing template. Its a two staged rout. 1 for the bevel and 2 for the purfling. The same template with a different router for each is used, so it has be placed almost exactly where it was before on the second cut.

Very pretty indeed!
I was going to ask the same question about the line on the top. Nice work, and beautiful woods! Carry on and have FUN Paul
