Drat, Louis! I'm only seeing the last photo; however, that lamination looks great! |

Got 'em! Man, that's going to be really nice! Be sure to show us the finished product. Is the back lam paired with the black/white rosewood or walnut (or something else?) I like it! |

The back joint is unadorned as per the customer’s request; I'm gong use the w/b/w paduke w/b/w combination on the binding and tailpiece to tie it all together. The lams are rosewood / holly (w) / dyed maple (b) / holly (w) / paduke /w/b/w/R. And now, back to hallowing out the insides!!!! Louis |

Thanks All!! It's fun to look at, but not so much fun to carve!! I got the back all hallowed out last night. Tonight I'm going to try and get the top done and get this box closed up before the week is out. Louis |
