Beautiful. That rosette looks even better each time I see it. I really like the wood selection, the narra and snakewood really compliment each other.

Sweet, Michael. That Snakewood is a perfect match for the Narra.

Hey, any rain up in your neck of the woods?

Micheal, I really dig that rosette! The nara is incredible too. I can't wait until I get good enough to play with zoot like that! Your customer is going to be super happy!

I need an emoticon where Smiley's jaw is on the ground!

Outstanding work all around. I remembered that crazy rosette and your prodigious one day output thread as well. I was really looking forward to seeing that gorgeous zoot assembled... Fantastic!

I love your build, especially all the snake bindings and miters. Beautiful job. I am not familiar with Nara, although I have seen it listed on Bob C web site. What does it compare to in terms of workability and tone?? t sure is beautiful wood.
