The Genesis is coming along....slowly but surely!

I had a hard time with the rosette since I decided to cut the channels the old fashion way.. BY HAND! may have been the last time (back to the Dremel)

Tonight I'll do the end graft and glue on the top braces.

Wow, that's really nice wood. I love the streaking in the top.

Looking great Peter! This is going to be one beautiful guitar. If you want to save some mass on the tail block, you could bevel the 2 side edges(the ones against the linings), and you may be able to lighten the tail block without risking stability. Just a suggestion.

Nice rosette. I like the color combination. What will you bind the guitar with? Any plans for purfling?Tomas38895.9994907407
