Nice, Hesh!!    Question for you guys out-sourcing the finish: Do you have the pore filling done yourself, or does Tony do that as part of the finishing?

Very nice, Hesh. The simple rosette and binding work great with that flashy wood.

Hesh, I like that one a lot! I'm REALLY glad you left the appointments a bit understated with that kind of zoot. To do otherwise would have made it look busy.
Nice work!

Oh, forgot to ask, does he finish yours with the necks on? Seams like a hassle to level and buff in those joints if it wasn't necessary (dovetail).
Or maybe he just stuck it together for the photos.
