In the spirit of posting newly completed projects, here is the latest from my little shop.
The Lutz top and figured Bubinga back and sides came from Shane from a trip I made to Terrace BC a decade ago.

It's a beauty, Rob. I really like your bridge design. It's a small pic but it looks like the belly curve continues around and is cut into the wings? And the pins match the belly? It looks great.

Very nice!
The color of the bridge, rosette, and B&S work well together and have a very unified look.

Beautiful guitar. I particularly like the shape, it looks very much like a classical. Nice round bottom (not flat).

Thanks Brad!
Yes, that is the intent of the design - the belly curve flattens out into the wings, and the wings are left with just 1/16" at the edges. And the pin curve matches the belly curve.

Good eye!
The OM-Size design started from a tracing from my Ramirez classical.
I then made the lower bout larger and gave it a bit of a bell-shape vs. the flat bottom.

That's nice work there. I like the shape too. What's the back look like?

Sorry Chris,
I am the worst guitar photographer...
My lovely wife took that shot... :-)
And the guitar is now in the capable hands of its new owner....
