Looks sweet Hesh! I got a set of Cuban mahogany from Bob a while back that is destined for a L-00. It may get a lutz top, haven't made up my mind yet.

This one looks like another killer for your wall of guitars!

Classic beauty this one Hesh, very nice indeed. The BRW appointments will sit perfectly. I will be very interested to hear what you have to say when this one is finished and you compare it to the Tiger Myrtle.

Speaking of the Tiger guitar, how is she now, still playing in nicely?

Cheers

Another beautiful guitar on the way! Is this the box that you are contemplating applying a french polish? It would really put depth into the flamed mahogany.

Another top shelf effort from my Southern Cousin!

That mahogany looks fantastic my friend and I'm sure the BRW trim will complement it perfectly.

Is it FP time?

Ya makin' me jealous bro!

Looking really nice there and i can't wait to hear about the sound of that one, i definitely gotta try mahogany before the end of this year, especially with Colin's great tutelage on carving the braces.

Yup, another elegant ladie that will be in your home bro!

Sweet, Hesh.
Looks down-to-earth, in an elegant no-nonsense sort of way. It already reminds me of a friend's 1934 00-18 Martin: a beautiful, unpretentious little guitar.

Mmm-mmm!

Steve

Ok Brother !

That is a very nice looking guitar. Your moving along nicely. I would think that "kitting" all the parts up help with the speed eh?

That would look very very nice with shellac, I sure hope it all works out for ya, and knowing your persistance to learn and patience the french polishing will turn out great.

Looking forward to another fine Heshtone bud.

Oh, what are you doing for a bridge design, your stelth or the thin bridge you did on the "black pearl "

HA HA - it took me a while to understand your response. I had to go back and read what I wrote

Some day I am going to be in your area on business and hook up. I just gotta learn how you keep everything so clean!!!!

Hesh, how did you find the wood bent? What did you thickness the sides
to? Mine are relatively between .08 and .085 since I did them by hand.
What temp. did you set your blanket to (or set the dial)? I tried the bulb
setup and practiced with a cocobolo side I had. There was a lot of spring,
so I decided just to order the blanket from John Hall. Temp. is temp, so
I'm not really sure how the medium will change the result, but I'm hoping.
Did you have much spring back?

Darn it nephew. Every time I see one of your guitars coming together I get this strong urge to build one and this one is no exception. I thing the Mahogany/Italian combo along with the BRW is going to make an outstanding guitar. I can't wait to see what your comments are on the finished product.
