That last shot is a beaut. I really miss being able to dumpster dive correction wedges from resawing tops to use as brace stock.

I am indeed quite excited about the bracewood!
Gklong chose this piece of shell for the headstock Logo.    Sadly, perhaps, I put the better piece on the back.

With porefiller and sealer the spalting has moved into the background. I believe this kind of "Character" becomes increasingly central to the beauty as time passes.

I have got the Tree OMish up to where I will put varnish on it. Since I need 8 to 10 consecutive days for the process, I will wait till I return from B.I.G. next week before I start. Here is the body with porefiller and sealer:

FYI, the sister guitar of this last one has already arrived at the B'sox residence. It is a Martinesque 00 rather than an OM. Here's its back, flitch matched to the current build:

He resonded that that was fine, but he thinks of the Rose as his "symbol". Kind of short notice, but I have a shell I bought in a shell shop 45 years ago which is a pink MOP, so I did this:
