Looking great! I really like the back headstock veneer and how it matches the back in its figure. Your photos here, at least on my computer screen at the office, seem to bring out a lot more brown tones in that BRW and Jim's bring out the redder tones. Just an amazing set of wood, and yes the cedar is fabulous as well.

Beautiful woods. Don't think I've ever seen such a striking set of BRW. Wow!

Congrats. Certainly looking forward to hearing it.

Looking forward to some sound clips, Mau (you're probably recording them as we speak).

I met Jim Olson in 1983,, actually went to his shop,,
He had a few guitars in production,, one finished was a dreadnaught
which sounded fine,,, like a Martin,,
that was before he became well known,,,

Mr. Olson? I liked him personally,, very friendly and welcoming...
