Chris,
Fabulous stuff - you were so shocked that it took you a minute to work out which way round to play it. Nice design, woods and execution. All we need now is to hear it.
Well done

Congratulations Chris, I have no doubt it'll be the first of many. I like the colour combinations, and of course the choice of mahogany was an inspired and perfect one! I've just started on a redwood/Cuban mahogany OM, lets hope it turns out half as good as yours. As Dave said, let's hear it. Colin |
