So I've finally been able to give the box a rough sanding today after taking it out of the mold and trimming the overhang...







Thanks for lookin'!

Sweeeet.

Ok, come on, lets see that cutaway, we want to see how it turned out.

I love rosewood.

Hey Al, what size is that sound hole, looks bigger than "normal"?

I'm with Sam, I love the shape. Is that your design? Very organic curves.

Thanks for all your very kind comments!

Rod, the cutaway came out very well, if I do say so myself. I'll take a close-up pic later on tonight...

The hole is a standard 4 inches. It might be because that guitar is just a hair over 9 inches at the waist... hmmm... I'll go measure that out to make sure... Now you've got me worried!

Sam, Donovan, thank you very much. That is a shape I drew myself. It's 11 inches upper bout, 9.125'ish at the waist and 15 inches lower bout...

Hesh, you clean freak you, leave my shop be!!! I actually cleaned up before taking those pics!

She thumps like a canon! The slightest tap at the bridge position will put out a match held at the souldhole... Supposedly that's a good thing (shrug)
