Let me pile on, too, with a hearty welcome to the forum.
Most impressive work! It’s obvious the early work in joinery yielded fine dividends.

Thank you for all the comments. I will certainly post more pictures here as the builds progress.

Wishing everyone a happy Christmas and New year.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the comment.

Bevels are something that I would like to add to my offering in the near future although I have not yet completed any. So far no-one has ever asked me for bevels so I've not had the opportunity to do any although I would really like to and I have a very good idea about how i would go about this process as well as how i would like to visually present them. I would like to design an arm bevel that starts close to the waist and ends close to the tail with a smooth transition so it doesn't interrupt the flowing lines of the lower bout of the guitar.

I am looking for a build to add bevels to my portfolio/offering. I've thought about either offering this to one of my next year commission clients or adding it to one of the spec builds I've got planned. The first client that i do this for will receive the feature at no additional cost in the understanding that I haven't done it before.

All the best
