Wow Lance, they all look great! That flamed mahogany and adi combo is really sweet. That is also an incredibly nice coco set you have there. Can't wait to see the final product!

Looks like a great start on them! I am a sucker for the sap wood on the coco.

I love the progress shots as much or more than seeing the finished instrument.

Thanks for sharing Lance. I like seeing everyones "in progress" pictures. It's neat to see how everyone does things just a little bit differently. I always learn something.

Hi Ron and Serge

Some Closer Shots of the rosette, the decoration on this one is pretty simple, as we thought the cocobolo had enough figure etc.

Thanks Russ! Very pretty rosette!

That's gorgeous purfling you have on there Russ, did you buy it from LMI or made it yourself? LMI came to mind because i think Al Desforges had something similar that he bought from them...
