Preliminary work 2017

I've been doing some back and top joining, new rosettes and preparing binding for the next few guitars.

Shavings from the edges of backs being joined.

Planing delicate multi-color veneer glue-ups.

Western bigleaf maple with Indian rosewood center piece.

Beautiful alpine spruce.

This is my new rosette, kind of an ode to Santos but with a bit of French style thrown in.

This is my Torres style rosette.
