It does look nice. I also like the dragonfly sound port, very cool. Where did you get the pattern? |

Very nice, Dave! ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") I’m a bit of a traditionalist and am not usually big on the look of laminated necks, but that one looks GREAT with the sapwood in the ovankol!

Thanks guys for the feedback! The sound port is of my own making with the wings being in the shape of the capital letter D and the body being and L for my initials. The wife and I thought long and hard to come up with a trademark for the guitars I build. Dave |

Honey shellac does marvelous things. I used it on some light, striped african mahogany and it turned into gold. |
