This is an all african mahogany parlor (actually a double top). It has sycamore purfling, end wedge, and sound hole binding. Wenge for binding and heel cap. Macassar ebony bridge, fingerboard, headplate and truss cap. Thanks for looking.

Cool Chris! Good going on doing your own shape. It looks good. Having all that extra real estate in the upper bout must totally change the sound outcome.

Best of the Season,
Danny

That shape is very cool,

Put a stinger on the next one!

Nice lines throughout. Original without going too far, I like it! What finish are you using? Clinton

I actually didn't do a nomex double top. It is simply an all wood construction. I split the difference in thickness between a piece of englemann and the mahogany. I like it so far.
