Here are some photos of my latest completion. Had a lot of fun building it and I'm very happy with the result. This was my first attempt at making a slotted headstock and a pyramid bridge, but I think they came out well. Thanks for looking!

Hey Ellison - I really like this one. The funky spalted end graft is cool, and the neck looks beaeutiful. Can you tell us a bit more about the timbers? And is the spalted rosette cut in segments or did you have a piece big enough for a solid ring?
Nice job

Sorry, I guess I should have provided some details. Anyway, I based it on a Martin 0 model, but with a slightly larger waist and upper bout. The soundboard is red spruce, claro walnut B&S, and curly cherry neck. The rosette, end graft and heel cap all came from one piece of spalted curly maple. And yes, the rosette is one single piece. Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! Oh, and sorry for the poor background...

It come from RC Tonewoods, as well as the soundboard and all of the spalted maple pieces.
