If you look closely, you can see a few medullary rays that are misaligned. Epic fail.

Rotfl.

BTW I don't know what's going on with my crappy photobucket account. I'm a little Stockholm Syndromic with them lately as I feel they suck but I can't leave. Can anyone else see my photos right now?

The photobucket change has been quite troublesome. I hope you can host pics from another application ... this thread is at the top of my list. Looking forward to the finale!! ...

Thanks everyone for your comments!

This photobucket thing is a real pain. Having used it for years I have to say I had never used the AGF upload system- Has it always been there? Shame on me if so. I went in to this thread and re-uploaded the pics that I had posted. Not sure if I have it in me to go into my older threads but it will have to go on the (long, long, long) list of things to do!

End graft take 2 is on the dock for today's shop time. Will have pics later.....

So glad you went through the trouble of rebuilding this fabulous thread! I know it's a lot of work, but they do provide a nice provenance of construction. I wish I had the confidence that these insights into the craft were more permanent.

I sucked it up and bought the subscription, but Burton and I will have to recreate this thread. Burton, send me some photos of the rose engine stuff and I'll host it on my account. This sucks and it's highway robbery, but these threads IMO are too important to leave without visuals. It'll take me a week or two to short this out in all my free time between two jobs, two toddlers, and massive home renovation.

So, maybe by September I'll have the photos fixed?

Thx for standing by.

I've tried to fix my photobucket issues, with very limited success. Anyhoo, the photos I deleted earlier in the thread due to broken links I've tried to recreate here in a few posts. In any case, the end graft and binding are done, so here you go:

It seems ridiculous to say, but I am too! Can't rush these things, as much as I'd like to.

Love seeing this come together. I just got done listening to your podcast with Michael. Thought it was great. I hope you have continued success in this build.

Thanks Ryan. I was so nervous about that podcast before it came out. Michael did such a great job getting it together. If anyone is curious it is here:

I'll see you guys at Woodstock, yes?

And since I'm posting, I'll include a shot here of the guitar sharing the bench with Matthew's guitar- this one is ready for bindings and purflings
