Here's the top and back plates for the next two guitars. Have decided to do another honduran mahogany w/sitka top for one and cocobolo and engelman for the other.


 




Oh, and here is the guy doing all the work - #1 grandson Alex.



Hopefully these will be done before he finishes high school.

Those are going to make some fine looking guitars Doug. Hey, I think the little guy can handle that plane better than me....
Good luck!

The guitars are going to look good Doug. Your apprentice has his grip down, but I think he needs a shorter bench.

Oh, and that is one big honkin' vice jaw you've got there!
