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

Woooweee, ain't that purty?

It's just fun to have something like that in your shop,
isn't it?

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

Warning! Warning!

Potential danger of wife twisting your words Dave!

Unless she has never been in your shop that is; then you are still safe O/W you may have to clarify "anything" to protect yourself.
