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.....

[QUOTE=Steve Kinnaird] Great stuff, Chris! What finish are you planning? Steve[/QUOTE] 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. |
