I guess this one is almost ready for Joe White's shop! bliss

It was a challenge to get the bevel dome in Madagascar but it was well worth it!

Thanks for looking.

Peter I really like that style of bevel especially the way you blended it perfectly with the binding. Did you use a veneer or is it a solid block? Nicely done!

You thought Joe White was kidding I bet....lol If it is shipped as requested it'll come back not only with a flawless finish but already played in for your client all for a nominal upcharge.

Please show us pictures finished...this one is gonna be a knockout.

Peter, let me ask again. Is the Madagascar bevel made from a solid block or is it a veneer?

This guitar is beautiful - I have seen very few where the arm rest looks a balanced as this one. Most make the top look slightly off. This is a trick no-one has put in book or a video yet and put me on the list of forum members who would like to know more about how you did it.

Thanks a lot! However I can't get credit for that Bevel. While yes I did put it all together, the credit goes to Kevin Ryan for coming up with this design. [:Y:] The binding/bevel transitions are really an amazing creation!

Peter a couple more questions if I may.

1) Did you shape your bevel by hand or did you use a router bit and a template?

2) Nice job on the purfling on the rib side of the bevel. Did you cut that in my hand?

The more I look at your pictures the more detail I see.....and the more impressive it all is. It will truly look amazing once finished.

Anthony,
the bevel is cut by hand with a grinder and a file. Everything else is also done by hand.
