Russell, I've got two more sets!

I wondered if that was the mad rose bindings, it seems fair as I'm using the London Plane bindings that you sent me!

You really have the got the art of purfling down haven't you, I've got to give that a go, I think I may use satinwood and walnut, what do you think?

That walnut is really gonna look rich under finish.
Mmmm, rich like chocolate!
Colin, I hate to rain on the parade, but I`m in the process of a walnut body with cherry neck, too.

Nice bass, purhaps an Ice cream guitar would be perfect for your band


Colin

Satin Wood and Walnut is perfect for Purflings, but in keeping with your Native wood theme, how about Brown Oak Bindings, London Plane and Walnut Purfling, I can let you have some more plane if you need it, the only prob then is finding the Oak.

[QUOTE=RussellR] Just thought I'd share pics of one in progress, don't know why but it reminds me of ice cream every time I look at it.

Russell,

That would make you Mr Whippy then

Class work as always and lovely wood combination. Let me know what you think of the Lutz sound. I'm really enjoying it.

Walnut, My favorite wood.
Russell, Be sure to post some pic's of it when it gets a finish. I bet it's gonna be a real looker.

Russel,

Man that looks awesome, it looks like you just grew that wood into the guitar shape. Your back curves seem to marry the sweet bend in the grain of the walnut. I can't wait to see it finished!
