I was able to continue making progress this weekend. It was nice having
time to just relax and be one with the wood.
Here's a look at the closed box....

and from the back....

...and lastly,
I was able to get my end wedge installed and scraped down flush.

I chose some curly claro walnut that I had leftover cutoffs from #2 with
b/w/b purflings.
This theme will continue with the bindings and top purflings.

Chris - I like the non-dread shape and it is beautiful clean work.  I hope you keep the pics coming!  They're making me want to plan #2.....

Chris, that really looks like it is coming along great.  I like the shape too.  What is that?  (Ignorant in Charlotte??)  Shape that is.  Beautiful wood.

Thanks, the shape is Taylor's Grand Auditorium.
Very similar to a dread in specs but with a tighter waist (9.75").

Thanks Steve,

I may have found me an old wood-worker who is somewhat nearby to spray
nitro for me.

#2 was colortone brushing varnish on back & sides with shellac on the top
but overall I wasn't too overly pleased with the results doing it by brush.

Lookin' good Chris. I think the dark bindings will look cool with the medium tones of the body. Having that "V" shaped figure in both and top and back is pretty nifty, too.
