I LIKE!!!! 
How innovative!!! I love both the guitars, but the smaller "lute" really draws me in with that wonderful soundhole. Well done. |

Those are your first and second???? If that is how you start, I really want to be around when you hit your groove! Those are amazing and will really be stunning when you get them finished. It is so nice to see something different, and have definately accomplished that. Please make sure to post pictures when you are done. |

Those are great looking instruments. Can't believe they are 1 & 2. Innovative design with beautiful woods all blended together very well. Finished, they will both be killers! |

Whoa, is that neat or what? Very, very innovative!!! I'm really impressed overall, but especially like how well you repeated the body shapes on the soundholes and pegheads. Just super!! Ron |

Jebarri, Fantastic!! Can you tell us more about how you connected the side folds? Are there blocks inside? Thanks for sharing! Wade |

Thanks, Here are pic's of the box pre closing. First I glued down the heel and end blocks, then I glued the corner blocks to the bottom side, then, the bottom side down to the top, then, I glued the sides (one at a time) on. The heel block has holes drilled in it to remove a little weight since it is a little bigger than usual 
(there were some tricky clamping procedures  )

Beautiful work Jebarri! And thanks for posting the inside pictures. It looks like it can be a bit more work to make the different shape but well worth it for originality. It also looks like the design would not interfere with the sound producing capabilities of the instrument either. I wonder if you could have done without a tail block? I like them both! Do let us know how they turn out! Wade |

[QUOTE=Wade S.]I wonder if you could have done without a tail block? [/QUOTE] Hmmm.. Hadn't thought of that, I figured for a strap button you would need one but maybe a smaller one? |

These guitars are truly beautiful...like others have said, I can't wait to see these under finish. They are, in a word, inspiring. |

I really, really like the body shape of #2. One of things where only after you see it do you say to yourself: yes, exactly. Wonderful design sense.
